Well, Better Late Than Never

At least, I guess so:

I guess it allows the families of those who were killed to get some closure, but I think it'll actually open more wounds than heal.

What's your reaction?

Take care all.

That's really cool. Thanx for posting it.

Serves no purpose.

I don't think Mr. White needs closure for his great great great great (great) grandmother's execution. Lifetimes heal all wounds.

It's always good when society can acknowledge and atone for its past wrongs.

Society isn't a person, how can it atone anything?

I don't see how anyone would still be upset over this or how it would make them feel better, but whatever.

Poor choice of words on my part. [q=Venom65437]I don't see how anyone would still be upset over this or how it would make them feel better, but whatever.[/q]If my ancestors were persecuted and murdered for an imaginary mis-deed, I'd feel a little bit better knowing that they've officially been cleared. Better than having their names remain forever associated with crime.

This reminds me of that Chappelle's Show episode where all the black people got reparations for slavery. Good stuff.

I suppose it's a case of "Better late than never".

Yay for the cats being pardoned too!

*high-five* :D

Hey, the Catholic Church finally apologized about Galileo a couple years ago.

Aren't these all these yet again one of the signs of the Apocalypse?
