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.

It's a tough one. I don't think massive reparations to Afro-Americans for slavery would be a good idea but there is some merit to the notion that we are living in mansions that our grandfathers built with slave labor -- not specifically you or I, but some of us, and the nation as a whole to some extent.

What my dad did then was legal. If today it is not legal, I will not do it. Way back when, cocaine was legal too. In Singapore, my wife's grandfather owned an opium bar. It was legal then. However, since the sentence for trafficking drugs today is death, would you say that my wife should be executed or at least locked up? After all, she could be said to reap the benefits of grandfather's opium bar. So she is by that definition a beneficiary of the opium bar.

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.
