And, thing is, we do learn from our mistakes .... maybe too slowly at times, but we do learn. As far as I know, they ain't burning Catholics at the stake over there ... not too much nigga lynching going on in Mississippi these days ... we don't hand out smallpox infected blankets to Indians any more ... Come to think of it, if we hadn't changed over here, the police and military would already be rounding up muslims and putting them in internment camps ... the way Canada treated Japanese Canadians in WWll.
Stoning to death, public beheadings and mutilations are not all that common in our world; they belong in the seventh century.
