Lies

When Volaire said "History is the lie commonly agreed upon" he meant many things. One thing he meant was that we have been told many things that have been false in our history class because teachers go by history books and a lot things in history books may not be the right thing or they are by one point of view. Which means that the people that write stuff in history books are winners, people that won or know the topic very well. SO you never get the truth out of the situastion because someone could lie about the whole thing. On top of that we are being taught it, so its a lie that we learn and agree with it.
