Perhaps less apologizing and hand-wringing and more behavioral changes are the best course . . .

Perhaps so. however, that doesn't mean I have to atone for something someone else did nor am I responsible..

IMO, there's a difference between 'who pays for it' and 'how do we help those who were abused'.

Semantically, yes. However, how do you differentiate between the two? Comes out to the same thing in the end, doesn't it? You say "To May To" and I say "To Mah To". Still talking about the same thing except different way of saying it, aren't we?

I would guess most of us do. However, our sex life is not a 24X7 thing. IOW, we don't get laid, eat, get laid, bathroom, etc, etc.

I've heard numerous reports that the truth and reconcilliation process in South Africa has been a plus. Sincere apology can have power but there has to be some atonement that goes with it.

Lot of problems there still, of coure, but progress is being made.

I'll be willing to apologize for something I have done and try make amends. I don't want to have to apologize for something my father or grandfather did to your father or grandfather.

Psssst, I have it better. God told me that he was playing a joke on Matt SD300 but asked me not to tell him as he and Peter wanted to spring it on him at the pearly gates.

It all equals out. Everyone owes everyone an apology and so it is a wash. Who was the worst? Depends on when and where you look and who you ask. People who kept no records are in the clear. It is easier to go after the ones who kept better records.

I have been talking to several older Black Gentlemen recently here in south alabama. If you want an example of something to feel guilty about: Black US GIs fought in the Korean war and weren't allowed to vote when/if they came home. You back the government responsible for this?

Lets strip to the waist and go from city to city flogging ourselves in a frenzy of apology . . .
