Just a few days ago, I wrote an article ridiculing a woman from Connecticut for wasting the state legislature's time bothering with a resolution that forced the state to apologize for the witch trials carried out by various Connecticut towns during the 1600s. I mentioned that "apologizing" for things that happened hundreds of years ago was rather stupid. And witch trials aren't the only things people want our government(s) to "apologize" for, as we all know. Certainly the long-past support of slavery by the United States is one subject most referenced for which apologies are sought.
