Try not to get lost in your own eyes. Happens to me all the time. Haunting.

Uh, excuse me?

1) I am not targeting Greek history; I am targeting Phantis for not having done a good enough job 2) As far as I can tell you are victim of the false and AngloSaxon version of parity. So let me list a few instances in which (in my opinion) parity does not apply: Unfortunate Tragic and unacceptable My neighbor is a cuckold I am a cuckold My neighbor?s kid is dumb My kid is dumb My neighbor loses his job I lose my job My neighbor has cancer I have cancer My neighbor?s doctor is a quack My doctor is a quack and so on and so forth. As a result, I care minimally about Italians lying to Italians, Patagonians lying to Patagonians and Martians lying to Martians. I do care though about a presentation of the Greek history that by omission or commission lies to Greeks. Those who do not learn from their past are likely to make the same errors in the future. In particular, it would have been useful to know what preceded the massacre at Chios and what, if anything, could be done to avert it or to limit the losses. And this brings us to the true and tragic: If this is the only thing they have learned and if this is what they will pass to their grandchildren and to the future generations, the future generations are likely to make the same mistakes and lose their own house as well.
