Its so easy to be sorry for something that somebody else did in the past. Empty platitudes are without teeth but usually get alot of air time.

How about doing something about the slavery that exists today? I'm sure Britain benefits from all those tiny fingers that weave the lavish carpets from India. Do the British refrain from wearing clothes made by children in China? What about sex slaves? I'm sure Britain has a few of those, too.

Give me a large break. Apologizing for the past does not make up for the ongoing slavery today.
