I think you summed it up well Oro. It comes down to the old adage: "Those who forget the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them".
It's a double-edged sword though. If we remember the past only to avenge the honor of long-dead ancestors, bringing those old mistakes to light deliberately, and repeating them willfully, then we wind up with a world very like the one we're living in now. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
