I never really got into history.

They didn't make the stuff organic enough for me to care about any of these cultures or civilizations. It was always facts, memorize, recite, memorize, recite. And they didn't even do any of the stuff you'd expect them to. I mean, our American History class only covered up to WWI. What kind of crap is that?

It was only after I got to college and started thinking about things for myself that it started to come together. I read an article in the Boston Phoenix talking about how students can take over City Hall. It's a great article, talks all about how the machine is broken and with a few simple repairs can be made to do all kinds of cool shit. This is where I took my cue...
