Not like his great-grandfather was a nice guy, probably wasn't given that he helped invade Mexico to steal half it's lands, but we all have messed up relatives in the past, so no sense feeling guilty over ancestors we have no control over.</p><p><br /></p><p>I, for example, don't have to look far to find one such loathsome relative. My great great-grandfather was a plantation slave owner in Cuba, an odious little monster whom worked hundreds of slaves to death in his sugar mills. Not a nice guy, but he died long before I was born, and I certainly won't beat myself over the actions of others I had no control over. I can only control what I do with my own life.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
