I just came back from the theater.. As you may have guessed I did watch Milk, the movie about Harvey Milk.
While the movie was climbing to its climax, a recent chat with someone came to mind: He said “Europe has history.”
“Undeniably,” I said. “America does not,” I (instantly) added.
“Europe, however, seems to stick to its [past] history, whereas in America people has always been more keen on change,” he replied.
Watching Milk made me realize that America does have history. Modern history.

I was shocked to learn that in Wisconsin, there is a law that requires century old houses to be demolished!
