    Past mistakes can’t be undone. Diferent time, diferent people, diferent way of thinking. I’m on that boat - pun intended - with you. My country started the trans-oceanic slave trade. A lot of bad juju on my ancestors tally, there.

    What I do enjoy is joking with the way my country chose to settle on new lands. Most opted for iron and gunpowder, we opted for the go forth and multiply approach. The dutch were thwarted to invade Brazil because the people living there claimed Portuguese descent.
