I Hate History!

Words that will NEVER come out of my mouth, – UNLESS?

I am begging, pleading and just plain doing my humble best to explain our history?

I will however, constantly write to you from my memories,

out from my heart,

to you in one if not all of my blogs!

Shechaim Tallfox: I Hate History!

Today, to me history is one of the

if not the most important subject for our school children from diaper to death,

because there is far too much needless death around

from not learning from our mistakes of our past

and correcting them today and in our future?

Remember;

our best and only weapon in any pandemic

until science is able to catch up,

is the mask with social distancing!
