First point, how is that not history? Define history.
history (plural histories):
1) The aggregate of past events.
History repeats itself if we don?t learn from its mistakes.
Holes in your pant pockets turn your coins into history.
2) The branch of knowledge that studies the past; the assessment of notable events.
He teaches history at the university.
History will not look kindly on these tyrants.
He dreams of an invention that will make history.
3) A record or narrative description of past events.
4) (medicine) The list of past and continuing medical conditions of an individual or family.
A personal medical history is required for the insurance policy.
He has a history of cancer in his family.
5) (computing) A record of previous user events.
I visited a great site yesterday but forgot the URL; oh! ... luckily I didn't clear my history.
There's your definition Pony! I notice you didn't highlight the IRT point; very selective of you. Are those other things history? Pawn Stars and Pickers? Sometimes, but they give only a bare bones bit of knowledge with no context to make it meaningful. Mostly we watch to see what idiocy Chumlee is up to, or to feel stupid that the Pickers found a nice old relic moldering in someone's barn and they'll make a nice profit on it and didn't Grandpa have something like that in HIS barn that we threw out? As for the aliens and conspiracies, NO they are not history. Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code Unveiled (or whatever) and shows like it are shoddy scholarship based on a BOOK OF FICTION for Christ's sake! So no, not history.
Second, im sorry but you ARE wrong
Then I'm wrong. But I notice you have no data to support this. I would have taken the time to do something like look for where NASCAR tracks were (there are tracks in Las Vegas, Phoenix and Ft Worth) as something to support my claim. But no, you're right, it's simply better to declare one's righteousness from on high, like a saint to the sinners. I'm glad you were here to show me the error of my ways.
