Sins of the Father

Not mine, but our forefathers.

As my blogname might suggest, I was born in 1957.

So let's come to an understanding, shall we?

I didn't inter any Japanese-Canadians during the second war.

I didn't impose a "head tax" on any Chinese immigrants in the 19th/20th century.

I've never screwed a native Indian out of land, nor did I place any of them on reserves.

It's high time our Government stopped falling on its sword. The Government is, after all, an extension of me. Of all of us, for that matter.

Should the Government apologize to these groups on behalf of previous Governments?

Absolutely.

Just don't imply that *I* had anything to do with it.

'Cause I didn't.
