Time to think

I read a lot of hate coming from some of my friends and neighbors and wonder what world they live in. People put down this great nation because of failures that happened one and two centuries ago. What happened with the negroes before and after the civil war were horrible injustices. What happened with Native Americans as the far reaches of this country were being settled was truly atrocious. That said, it's time that we forget the past and band together and exert ourselves to improve tomorrow. Let the past centuries fill the pages of our history books while we strive to color the pages of future generations. Love your country and hope that we have all learned lessons from the past.
