“Standard” History

Time has no beginnings and history has no bounds.  The way we understand the past is always changing:

“The Historian Animating The Mind of A Young Painter” 1784 Thomas Rowlandson British

 

History never says “Goodbye”.

History always says “See you later”

 

“When Herodotus composed his great work,” Richard Cohen writes at the start of Making History: The Storytellers Who Shaped the Past, “people named it The Histories, but scholars have pointed out that the word means more accurately ‘inquiries’ or ‘researches.’ Calling it The Histories dilutes its originality.

I want to make a larger claim about those who have shaped the way we view our past—actually, who have given us our past. I believe that the wandering Greek’s investigations brought into play, 2,500 years ago, a special kind of inquiry—one that encompasses geography, ethnography, philology, genealogy, sociology, biography, anthropology, psychology, imaginative re-creation (as in the arts), and many other kinds of knowledge, too. The person who exhibits this wide-ranging curiosity should rejoice in the title: historian.”

Polling Places

Founded in 1975, the National Conference of State Legislatures is one of several non-profit organizations that claims to represent the legislatures in the states, territories and commonwealths of the U.S. Its mission is to advance the effectiveness, independence and integrity of legislatures and to foster interstate cooperation and facilitate the exchange of information among legislatures.

NCSL also represents legislatures in dealing with the federal government, especially in support of state sovereignty and state flexibility and protection from unfunded federal mandates and unwarranted federal preemption. The conference promotes cooperation between state legislatures in the U.S. and those in other countries.

In addition, NCSL is committed to improving the operations and management of state legislatures, and the effectiveness of legislators and legislative staff. NCSL also encourages the practice of high standards of conduct by legislators and legislative staff.

* The NCSL would be advised to change the name of the game they have coded for teaching schoolchildren in the United States — a “constitutional republic”; not a democracy.  A democracy is aptly described as “two foxes and a chicken” deciding what’s for dinner.   Among the nearly two-hundred national governing documents in the world the United States Constitution presents the go-to standard limiting the power of the central national government so that a federation of 50 independent states can govern themselves to the furthest extent possible.    Education communities in the United States are closely aligned with partisans of a large federal government; a fact that effects every dimension of American culture and, for our intent, effects the architectural character of these cities-within-cities because of the money flow that sustains them.
