History Nut

The greatest movie I have discovered in all my time of criticizing movies is The National Treasure Movies 1 and 2. I sit here, in my 18 century log house with a booming fire and watching the movies I am completely immersed in history. I would be the first to tell you conspiracy theories and analyzing history intrigues and entertains me. I proudly admit I have an addiction to history books and movies. I own (and every winter) watch the North and South series which includes 12 tapes all at 90 minutes long and an exclusive look at war, love and conspiracy. Its times like this I would love to have a time machine to take me back to the best times in American History. I would sip a cup of tea with Benjamin Franklin and contemplate life, invention and current state of the Country. Or hide fugitive slaves in my basement and hear the horror stories of plantation life. I strongly believe if you are bored with history then you don't understand it, because if you understood the bravery, the struggle and the triumph you would be entertained beyond your imagination. History is not just dates you memorize in school, it was real life and it belongs to everyone.
