The two constant that push and pull us..good vs. evil and it is why we struggle and why I appreciate those on is this thread that are willing to discuss such topics with an eye towards understanding. This is something mature/great generation did do better than we are right now!

I think its human nature to focus on the good. When we think about our own personal past, we tend to focus only on the good. For the bad stuff thats happened to us, we really have to think about it. I think thats the reason for your previous post. Human nature. But yes, for our national history (and world history in general) both the good and the bad need to be remembered and studied.
