just to add another log to the fire-

why do we get to keep the good stuff our forfathers did, but leave out the bad?
I live in a house that is older than me - so I should move out because I wasnt around when it was built. I cant travel on any of the roads, climb at araps. utilize the healthcare system, attend university. Should I stop going to the anzac dawn service because I wasnt around during the wars? I wasnt there - its not my job to remember the fallen.

who are we to wash our hands of the past generations mistakes, when we are still dipping them in the cookie jars of their achievements.

If we still parade the accolades of past success; If you feel pride for our history, then yes, I believe you should take on the burden of their guilt as well.
