I agree with eest. And I'd like to keep the mean things being said to a minimum, please.

Additionally, while I don't feel it's necessary for a country as a whole to rely on an part of it's past to create it's future, I do believe it is important for people to understand why things are they way they are, and how to make them better. And I think understanding one's heritage helps immeasurably in that.

So I agree and disagree with everyone at the same time, basically.
