Virginia apologizes for slavery... why?

Again, who's "we"? What wrongs have you personally committed against "the American Indian" (is there only one?)?

Come on. pvn, it's like your whole comment is a study in literalism.

Ever hear lines like, "We live, we die, we love, we kill, we worship, we play, we teach..." Some of us don't do all those things, but you know what it means, don't you?

Yes. When you say "we watch the superbowl" your inclusion of people who aren't actually watching the superbowl is harmless.

But here's the problem - the "we" that committed the wrongs is not the "we" who you are proposing be forced to sacrifice because of them. So I want to be really clear on who "we" (as in "we" who will be forced to sacrifice because of some other we's wrongs) actually is.

If you extend your "we watch the superbowl" to "We (as in the entire population of the USA) watch the superbowl, therefore we should all pay $25 to the NFL," well, I hope you see the problem. I didn't watch the superbowl, so you can expect a hearty "go [censored] yourself" if you try to send me a bill.
