    The good news is that once nobody knows anything about the past we can start with a blank slate and everyone can make horrible decisions all over again.

    Personally, I?m looking forward to owning slaves because it will take away several burdensome activities and free up time for other things. By the time people realize what a bad idea slavery was I?ll be long gone anyway.

    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    Maybe the new reimagined exhibit will focus on the way indigenous people actually lived.

    You know, the starvation, the constant warring between tribes. They didn't know animal husbandry or math. They practiced ritual cannibalism and human sacrifice. And yes, they enslaved each other, just like every other culture in history.

    But at least they developed and agreed upon a healing statement. That makes everything better.
