I assert we are supposed to do that. And I wonder if you realize how  
insulting that last line sounds? With my degree in Social Studies  
(including large doses of history), there is no way I could qualify? My  
professors, with PhDs, called me a professional historian. I may not  
really know, but it's hard to imagine that wasn't designed merely to shut  
someone up. When does someone gain the right to disagree, brother?
