Hi, Phat.

its not our job to correct the distant past, nor fix mistakes when we ourselves have no money to do such things and when we ourselves were not directly responsible.
I don't know about this. I mean, I agree that people shouldn't inherit the blame for the mess their progenitors made; but we can't really deny that our current prosperity and their current poverty are connected in some ways.
Decent humans (even decent humans who are personally innocent) should feel a little guilty about that, shouldn't they?
