To me history is much more than that, it's a part of who we are.
I completely agree with that statement. This is why I consider myself a "Self Taught" individual. Even though I have a Bachelors degree, most of what I learned during college was completely my own doing.

Now, I do have some pretty intelligent and genius mentors. Some of which had nothing to do with college and a whole lot to do with Summer and Autumn of 1998 in Franklin,NC.
