They say that those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it. Well, what about people like me who DID learn it but hang out with people who assume I'm just being silly because they'd have "cleared it all up by now"?
Apparently when I objected to crossing that big empty field by saying "they used landmines during that whole mess 30 years ago" I was right. We were apparently in the "dead zone" near the Green Line... which was full of mines. Several soldiers were killed not too long ago trying to clear the mine fields.
I need to start listening to myself more.
