Tommy Druen: Fighting the same old battles Previous Column: Judge Emberton was a great mentor By Tommy Druen I recognize that I am biased. For the full extent of my memory, I've been a lover of history. My major at Centre College was history. History books are my pleasure reading. I collect historical political memorabilia. While I like to keep an eye on the future, I'm a firm believer that our history shapes who we are, even more than we care to admit. I come by it honestly, though. My dad is a retired history teacher. Perhaps our dinner conversations weren't typical. I now realize that our vacations were not. If there was a battlefield or fort on our route, you can guarantee there was a stop... and likely a detour even if it wasn't. All of this is to say I have a deep love and respect for history. The bright spots, the dark stains, the trials, tribulations and accomplishments... they all need to be studied, though much does not deserve reverence. This is why it pains me to see what appears to be more than just a misunderstanding, but a disdain for historical accuracy. And it seems to grow more egregious each and every day.
