The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

We can and should do our best as a people to right the wrongs of our past. Or we could take the MAGA position and ignore them and even celebrate our ongoing superiority because of them.

Yes, to the extent practicable. Often it's not. You can't roll back history.

With respect to the "colonialist" Jews, how far back should history be rolled or compensated? Jews were exiled in large numbers from their homeland two thousand years ago. Some small number remained in Palestine and kept their faith. Others kept their faith elsewhere. When circumstances allowed they created a formal movement to organize a return to their homeland. There is probably no other historic instance of an indigenous people reclaiming their homeland. It's quite the miracle. Colonialists my ass.
