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.

What is History? It’s just one fucking thing after another.

I’m Jewish. I’m small. And I live in Sheffield. I’m fucked.
