Gryphon's Word of the Day, April 20, 2008
The word of the day for April 20, 2008 is "inevitable" — adjective — : incapable of being avoided or evaded [an inevitable outcome].
One of the reasons that Lloyd doesn't like reenactments is that so many of them started as US Civil War history buffs. As Lloyd says, it doesn't matter how many times they replay the battles, the North still won the war. They ought to get over themselves.
I, on the other hand, am in favor of people seeing how we used to do things. If the apocalypse leaves enough of us for a breeding population, somebody will have to remember or reinvent enough of the old technology to gather/hunt for food. Someone will have to show us how to weave and spin and create cooking pots from raw materials. Someone will have to remember the rituals that apply.
And this is what Lloyd missed—inevitably:
Our quote for today is from Philip Guedalla (1889–1944), British author. “Some Historians,” Supers and Supermen (1920):
History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other.
