Personally I DESPISE these whole "never forget" campaigns.
fuck I mean c'mon
9/11! NEVER FORGET
Holocaust! NEVER FORGET
it's just a clever way of saying "hold on to your latent fears, your fuel for another conflict, hold a "logical grudge"
this is why black people still have to go all up in arms about the era of slavery every time one individual expresses his lack of racial sensitivity, because they never forget.
THE CRUSADES! NEVER FORGET!
GHENGIS KHAN! NEVER FORGET!
CAVEMAN ERA bATTLE BETWEEN CAVE #1 AND CAVE #2! NEVER FORGET!
A SINGLE MACINTOSH SAVED THE WORLD IN INDEPENDENCE DAY! NEVER FORGET.
come off it. It's history, it will only get older and older and older and the future generations don't need to hear the grudges of the generation behind them and have it influence them. Thats just my take on it.
just like when world war vets sit there and bash on "Chinks" being allowed in america or something and it carries over into thier childs way of thinking and they wind up breeding a racist because his father could "never forget"
