Default RE: Moral Question

As far as I can tell...everyone agrees that you can't hold onto the past forever...nobody expects the Vikings to repay the loot they stole...but the issue is how far back to we go? Huntingirl and others think we are not doing enough and that the indian situation is receint enough to warrent reparations (sp??). Others claimed that the time has long since come for the past to be forgotten. I think we should be able to hold our opinions with respect and agree to disagree.
Mossyoakshootout -

I think you brought up a great question. We shouldn't feel awkward about asking an honest question - asking the question is the first step to addressing an issue or solving a problem. If we don't address the issue then we can't begin to solve a problem.

I enjoyed reading everyone's spirited answers to your question. You also did an exceptional job of summarizing everyone's responses and catagorizing their viewpoints. Thanks for letting this old man (50 years) put in his opinion too. I don't want to appear as a "teacher" or a "parent" with my next comment because it's not where I'm coming from. My following comment is being asked by a person who wants to see a solution to what apears to be a problem.

I agree with you that "we should be able to hold our opinions with respect and agree to disagree." I just want to point out that your sentiment, although admirable, stops short of addresing the issues brought up here. I don't expect any of us to come up with an answer to all the sides presented in "Moral Question", but if someone does I'd enjoy reading it. There are times in life when we have to come up with an answer and actually change the way things are - even if those changes make some people angry and frustrated. Around the world there are many problems that exist because people shy away from tackling them.

So, if any one is interested I'd be happy to hear an answer(s) to the question about what we should do regarding "Moral Question." Do we keep things the same or change them? (This is not a homework assignment just an honest thought will do).
