85. It's not living in the past if the consequences are still with us.

Edited on Thu Apr-10-08 03:53 PM by sfexpat2000

We haven't even yet confronted slavers yet, let alone the Trail of Tears.

The past really is prologue and not dealing with it just makes us more likely to continue the error in some new form.

I really don't understand all the defensiveness on this thread. Can we not say, "That was wrong as it's possible for human beings to be wrong. I'm sorry that happened." How hard is that, really?

Are we not sorry that happened?
