THE PHYSIOGNOMY THEORY OF REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY: I have a theory that any 5 year old can be given a better understanding of the history of revolutions than your average college student, and all you have to show them is pictures. You can show a child pictures of the leaders of each side in a revolutionary conflict, and any one who's raised on Disney and Mother Goose will be able to tell who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. For the rest of his education, teachers will try to mislead him.
