pbrower2a1 back to DK...re: an article by Dylan Matthews, entitled, "Three Reasons Why the American Revolution was a Mistake."
Are outcomes, then, throughout history, such as the American Rebellion, or the French or Russian Revolutions, the progressive (Whig) results of determined and benevolent forces and causes (dialectical materialism, progress, providence) impossible, or at least futile, to try to gainsay in retrospect?
Should one even consider swimming against 'the tide of history', as DK puts it, either before, during, or after, the events in question?
Why not, after all, survey the past, and calmly and soberly contemplate the future, through rose colored glasses?
