I don't own any land, Dwight, and I am hoping to move back to Europe. When I did own a beach cottage I used to visualize the Indian tribe who originally lived there playing and camping and clamming on the beach, and it made me sad. Why is it so hard for a country to say they are sorry about some grave injustice? We certainly expected Japan and Germany to say that, but we are pretty self-righteous in America in lots of ways. Just acknowledging that something was very wrong allows people to heal. There has been a lot of healing in Ireland since Tony Blair said sorry about England's role in starving millions of them in the Potato Famine in the 1840's. Apologizing lets anger start turning to sadness, and then some kind of closure. The white Australians feel better for having said sorry, and so do the Aborigines. Is there something wrong with that? To me, all this manifest destiny stuff is very immoral.
