So In The End…World events today began a long time agoThis class is about learning from the past
Not to risk repeating itBut to know how we got to where we are at
Today we remember events that occurred 8 years ago on a sunny Tuesday MorningBut those events began so much longer agoAnd knowing that makes what we learn in this
class so much more importantSo sleep, wave, joke, draw, doodle, or flirt all you
wantJust don’t be shocked when you can’t answer the
questions: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN or WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?
