i was walking the beasts by the international house and saw a chalk graffito underfoot reading Respect History and that kind of stuck in my mental craw. respect History? why? it's just shit that happened  while folks struggled for freedom from the tyrannosaurs.

most history is told by the tyrannosaurs anyway, except a few stubborn souls like klein and zinn and chomsky who unfortunately cannot make or change history.

i don't respect history, it's just an abstraction.

i respect dogs and water and sun.

i said to the pointers, what is history. it's one of those childish questions we forget to ask.
