Can "we" get past the PAST?
It seems like everyone always falls back on the same OLD arguments when discussing hot button issues.
For example, people talk about immigration and say "Illegally entering the country is against the law" and others rebut by saying but the USA is a nation of immigrants.
And if people talk about oppression they talk about slavery in the colonial times of the USA or land theft in regards to the Native Americans.
So I ask, can we get past the past? I am not saying forget, but it seems like at some point we should look at the calendar and say we are at this point in time, let's fix what's wrong now.
This question is merely that, a question. Please respond thoughtfully versus emotionally.

I don't believe it would be wise. The past teaches us. Mistakes are learned and some can be corrected.
