Yeah- none of that's gonna be in the books!

I've found it interesting learning how different parts of the country learned different history- that I discovered months ago here and found it fascinating!

The one that got me was some youngin' posting a map that had Kentucky in the Union.

That's not what they taught me!

MAYBE we should use it to fix our broken country?

So we can live safely and freely?

When was the last time you traveled outside your state on an interstate?

Have you seen the state our roadways are in?

Or how about Detroit- been there?
