Angry

Teaching history means teaching about injustice -- again and again and again. And after a while you think you've got over being angry about it. But tonight, preparing for tomorrow morning's early, early lecture on 17th century imperialism, I was looking at the accompanying PowerPoint presentation and realized that (even though I don't think Europeans, in the Early Modern period or at any other time are uniquely depraved) I'm still angry!
