I am a history buff and have wanted to learn as much US history as I can while living here.  I am not a US citizen and don’t plan to become one but while here I’d really like to understand this country as much as possible.  Living in the DC area is obviously a great way to explore this.  I’ve visited Philadelphia, Williamsburg, Boston, NYC, and so many smaller places in the quest to understand the US.

As for the twentieth century, I think so much of modern America gets its start after the Second World War.  The counterculture of the 60s-70s and reaction to the conformity of the 50s is fascinating to me. It’s not just Manson but Woodstock, the Vietnam War, , the space race and Cold War, the Kennedy assassination, the drug use.  There was so much going on in that decade.  Looking at it through the lens of the Manson family which occurs at the end of the decade is just one way of studying it.

I’m sure you’re learning other things living in the US.  But thanks for commenting about your lack of interest.  [/quote]
