I really like the second one. I feel that it's a little too true for me.

Ah, you closed with Hitler. An interesting man. Insane but very intelligent. You know I can't remember the quote exactly, but, he once said that in our history books we are teaching the wrong stuff. Instead of memorizing dates and names. We should be teaching children cause and effect. So that this mistake will not be repeated again.
yeah something like that. Oh well, enjoi.
