Apuleius Plinio Mendoza, Lorenzo Madrigal, George Santayana, history of Colombia, Pirandello and parapolitics
The column sympathetic Lorenzo Madrigal "History, bah!, The story" , published mid April 2008 in The Spectator, and share content and rewards, opens with a paradoxical reflection that summarizes ironically, for Colombians, our present national and oblivious mythomaniac: "SAY THAT IF YOU ARE RESPECTED history are doomed to repeat it "is the sentence in question and the way the usual quoted apotegmilla corroborates Madrigal lucidity (the maxim of more than Madrigal), as the first story I forget who are condemned to repeat (and deforming) is that of aphorism whose own initial statement noted that "those who can not remember the past are condemned to repeat it ".
