Howard Owens says this:
A conservative would argue that government cannot solve every injustice that has ever befallen a member of society. For example, we see the issue of reparations for slavery as clearly ridiculous. First, because putting a price tag on such an inhumane horror is impossible; second, not all of today's society is culpable in the crime of slavery; and lastly, society has already paid the price for slavery by creating a progressively freer environment for the decedents of slaves.
What a price "we" have paid.
And people wonder why I'm a liberal.
