Quite the contrary. When legitimate parallels between historical and
current events are presented to me, I spend a lot of time reading
historical
references to learn more.




Good. Read up on our adventures in the Phillippines.


The key phrase in my paragraph: *LEGITIMATE PARALLELS*.

But I will "read up on the Phillippines".

Can you provide a specific period or time frame that you're alluding to?
My
ADD will not allow me to spend hours sifting through two centuries of
US/Filipino history to find a parallel that may or may not exist.

1898 through present. Try:
"In Our Image - America's Empire in the Phillippines", by Stanley Karnow.
There is no better chronicle on the subject.

It's an actual book, by the way. Barnes & Noble has used copies available,
and you library may have it. That's a building where you can borrow books.
