Daily Meh is an edited stream of consciousness, by Simen.

Why not impose a moral statute of limitations on historical wrongs? If world opinion, or some substantial portion of it, took the view that victimhood isn’t transferable to subsequent generations, humanity almost certainly would benefit. Nationalists and other demagogues would find it harder to fan centuries-old resentments; more to the point, individuals who have been encouraged to adopt an irredentist, cargo-cult mentality toward the past would have to get on with their lives.

Yes, yes, yes. If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s original sin. And passing blame down generations is exactly that.
