What do people have wrong?

[Whit]

What about the fact that the winners write history? Isn't that where alot of this comes from?

For example, if WWII ended differently then the superiority of aryan's would be in the text book instead part of redneck delusions. As a matter of fact that is something that WAS taught in public schools in this country in the not-so-distant past.

Here's another, what is the point of having a society? Most know that it beats anarchy by protecting us from violent neighbors but haven't thought about it beyond that point. I've actually heard a few good answers but that's not the point. If the necessity of society is not understood by most, so does that mean it's either false or unimportant?

Ol' Ben Kenobi was right, our beliefs do depend on our point of veiw.
