I've been knocked off my sleep schedule this week -- I had to test some sleeping medication I need for an upcoming business trip and verify that I wouldn't have any unanticipated side effects before I was in Australia and unable to do anything about it. However, in the midst of all this, I had an interesting thought, spurred a discussion with my new office mate. We were talking about history and the traditional adage that "history is written by the winners." I disagree; I think it's something more like this:
History is interpreted by the winner's descendants.
