I  guess it's up to the individual. Am I peed off by what the
French or the Vikings did 1000 years ago ? Not really, and
I couldn't place any responsibility on their descendants, 50
generations on

What is incongruous to me is that in 10,000 or more years,
humans have evolved to be a cultured, inventive, communicative
and inquisitive species, yet what was probably true those aeons
ago is still true - the world still turns on greed, barbarism, and
power. Little cheer germ aren't I ? ;-)
