Yet, history has shown that if material force can defeat some ideologies it can no longer obliterate a civilization without destabilizing the whole planet.

Yet through history gays have always dominated religious life and churches.

English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.

The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.
