History has been used by politicians, special interest groups and others for propaganda throughout the ages. History is the most misunderstood subject and is used to manipulate people into war, harbor prejudices and continue practices that are not good for society.
I have mixed feeling about it. First, I doubt that the small audience I have would generate much revenue but second since I occasionally write about how the church deals with very non-Christian subjects, I have seen what ads pop up on the site (Scribd.com) where I post my Sunday sermons. It is an odd paradox to write a sermon entitled "Horoscopes are NOT harmless" and have a column of advertising appear next to it advertising (what else) online horoscopes.
While it might generate some income, it might also dilute the message. Just thinking...

That is a good point, but you can control some of your ad content.
