It can easily be said that everything we do today is dealing with everything
that we have ever experienced -- but we could hardly
show exactly what our current choices are now reflecting. (as a mirror can
reflect details about each and every item placed before it.)

( and BTW - the "lovely mess" - now current in north Africa , Asia, and
the middle east could as easily be attributed to 1300 years of Islamic
imperialism as to the Europeans who followed them. And some of those Islamic
regimes were  proud enough of their cultural genocide and ethnic cleansing
that they hired historians to document it )
