Summary

The Kurds have been American allies for quite some time now. There has been some dispute on America's foreign policy regarding leaving or staying the Middle East areas that directly affect the Kurds. The Sons of History discuss the history of the Kurds, how their region (not nation) came to be, and whether or not leaving Syria is a good idea or not.  Alan Wakim and Dustin Bass also give their book and movie recommendations, and also have their newly minted complaints for the week. We think you'll enjoy this discussion and learn more about the Kurds, our relationship with them, and how the media isn't really giving much of the story when they discuss them.

Letters from England, 1846-1849 by Elizabeth Davis Bancroft (1803 - 1886) ciesse Elizabeth Bancroft went to England with her husband, historian George Bancroft, for three of the most dynamic years in European history. As Ambassador to England from the United States, George moved in the highest circles. In his wife's letters to their sons, her uncle, her brother, and Mrs. Polk (the President's wife), we see glimpses not only of early Victorian English life, but also of Queen Victoria herself! Mrs. Bancroft speaks of dinners with Benjamin Disraeli, visits to Wordsworth, weekends in the country with Louis Napoleon and Sir Robert Peel with such matter of fact aplomb that one cannot help being impressed. Maoriland Fairy Tales by Edith Howes (1872 - 1954) LibriVox Most of the tales have some basis in history. It is an oral language so all histories have to be remembered and retold. To help with this memory retelling the carvings all have relative information and prompts, stories of Atua (sort of gods) and other people (pakeha) that have been encountered are all blended into the stories.One of the amazing things to listen to is a person's whakapapa (family line). My son's father can tell his whakapapa right back to first landing in the canoe Aotea. It takes hours with the stories of battles, moving and resettling and then the invasion of British soldiers and settlers. Those pale fairies in one of the recent stories would most probably have been Malaysian or Portugese fishermen/explorers.The Tikanga (way to behave/live) is quite strict and the stories support keeping people in line. This strictness is a kind of policing I think because it doesn't matter what time in history or what country, human nature doesn't change.

(Most of the learning will come as a result of Fr Dave...)Relax and enjoy the conversation, banter, and at times, ignorance, as Sam, Marty, and Fr Dave delve into their history of adventures, faith stumbling blocks, and moments of grace.
