  1. Good choice Julia. The comments are worth a look too.

  2. I don’t entirely agree with the concept of reparation in this context but it shouldn’t be cash. How about transporting the aggrieved back to the land of their forefathers. It was the “African-Americans” that gave me the idea, they cling so tightly to their African routes but do nothing about it. How would the idea of being shipped back to some west African jungle in a loincloth appeal?

    Always!

    "I don’t entirely agree with the concept of reparation in this context but it shouldn’t be cash. "

    But if not, how can we dock the cost of ending it?
