History of the Despising of History

The contempt for the past and fascination only with the present began a long time ago.

"History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we made today. "
~ Henry Ford, Interview in Chicago Tribune, May 25th, 1916US automobile industrialist (1863 - 1947)
