Fair enough. Every human being starts afresh. Get rid of property rights. Why pass down the ancestor's property? Donate them into a common pool. Many inheritors are dining on their ancestor's past glories... >Dining out for centuries on ancestors' past glories is pretty weak. It's what they do today that matters, not what somebody did centuries ago, who was only partly related to the current populations claiming "credit", as though they can claim credit. Similarly, the credit for horrors conducted ages ago ancestors should remain with the ancestors, and can't really be claimed by the now-living half-caste descendants. Germans today can't really claim credit for Auschwitz, or Beethoven. Neither was anything to do with them [though there might be a few still-living guilty parties in regard to Auschwitz who haven't been caught]. Being "proud" of what we haven't done seems silly to me. Similarly, feeling guilty for what we haven't done is daft.>
