I think being obsessive with history is one of the most pervasive destructive things around. People view the present in terms of old wrongs and seem to pass their grudges as far up the line as they can.
"The sins of the father" and all that jazz. What foul tempered evil minded deity would punish a child for something done by its great great great great great Grandfather? More to the point, what sick turd would stand in the pulpit and try to teach it?
Sorry, it's been a grouchy day...............
