God grant me the serenity to change the words I cannot accept...

I'm glad we had this discussion though... I found a useful analogy for teaching my 2 year old son. Just like an alcoholic, a nation can go into a state of denial and create a national history just like an alcoholic's personal history. Any history that is too painful or embarassing to remember, simply find a justification for drinking to shift blame because you don't want to face it. NO, WAIT! Alcoholics must make ammends by acknowledging those they have wronged...

Okay, so the analogy breaks down. :-)
