ORIGINAL: Jhud
My concern is that now we owe apologies to everyone else our ancestors managed to harm or offend in some way.
I suggest an omnibus bill wherein we simply state:
Forewith, that we deeply and humbly apologize for any past or future harms done to any people groups, excluding of course white male heterosexuals, including but not limited to acts of enslavement, repression, oppression, impoverishment, displacement, interment, assassinations, coups, wars of aggression, insults, and any bad feelings which can conceivably be said to have been derived from agents, agencies, institutions and or any representative of the US of America in any form in now takes, has ever taken, or ever will take as long as it remains a viable entity.
Let it be finally stated that the US wishes all parties considered the kindest good wishes, and all the best in any future endeavors.
This apology while sincere, shall not for the purposes of legal action be considered an admission of liability for past wrongs suffered.
That seems to cover our b...bases.
The Twelve Steps includes the phrase .... "and when we were wrong, we promptly admitted it."
