I don't give a damn about the Estates-General!

Nope, I don't care for history in the slightest. It makes my head hurt. I do not want to be an historian. Of that I am sure. I can get deeply immersed in some things history related, but that is more folk and fairy tale, mythology and most surprisingly, gladiators. I like the gladiators. Just don't put primary source material in front of me to be delved into.

I am fed up of looking at the excerpt of the Decree convoking the Estates-General now. What the hell am I meant to see in it? I can get through the witting testimony. But the unwitting testimony? I would like to know what I think I can see in it is right before committing to write the essay. Ah phooey!
