A Newsweek article picked its 10 events that changed history. Some of them were Kerry picking Oabma to give a speech, Florida using the butterfly ballot, Jacobs changing parties.
No, those were history making events but no ever one will remember them for long and in the long scheme of history harder will makr a difference, Eve and Adam yieding to temptation, Christ dying on the cross, the shooting of that guy in Austria, and dropping a bomb on Nagasaki are, on my opinion, events that changed history.
I suppose the Newsweek author is a twenty something that can't remember anything muych past the elction (the second one ) of George Bush, or either considers anything else so last century, or so last millinium. I suppose will just forget about the first fire arm, or the first labor saving device.
One would assume the Newsweek writer never studied history. Maybe he was only talking about recent American political history. In that case, who gives a damn.
