11. How far back do we go with this nonsense?
Cortez and Columbus? They have a lot to answer for. (though most Mexicans of today don't mind being Christian... those slaughtered 400 years ago probably did mind about what was being shoved down their throats while they were being sliced...)

Or long before that? Slavery, forced relocation, imposition of one's values over another - it's as old as prostitution, which is just about as old as humankind itself. (I'd say "mankind", but that would invoke the inane "that's a sexist term" argument...)

At what point do we stop apologizing for a past none of us can do anything about and look to the future; which is the one thing we DO have choice over?
