Now *that* is workforce-ready! History does offer us very real lessons, but they are seldom simple and straightforward. To understand and benefit from them, you have to know your history very well. That is why history matters as much as math, science, technology, or any other subject. "A young horse is fast, but an old horse knows what's going on." =E2=80=93 = Muddy Waters
