Just found this interesting.

I was reading the news after lunch (as I'm wont to do) when I came upon a couple headlines -- Viewpoint: A Separate But Equal Ruling for Gay Marriage and Apple, Tear Down This Wall. I haven't read either yet, but it occurred to me that to really grasp the weight those headlines are trying to leverage requires a certain amount of education; I'd hazard to say none of my Little Siblings (which here means the 'second half' from Greg on down) would even know what was being referenced. History and I have never really gotten along (though, Alyce, I do appreciate it more than some of my comments might indicate), but this is a good example of why such knowledge is useful. (Specifically, one can pretty much deduce the content and tone of each article from those two lines alone.)
