    Next thing you know, all the Hanna-Barbara cartoons will be

    Not to get too close to modern politics and treading lightly here, if
    you want to change the future, erase the past.
    For better or worse one cannot change the past. What has been done or undone cannot be changed. Learn from the past and don't make the same
    mistakes again. (This is good advice personally as well).

    Exactly. Folks want only POSITIVE things to be said about them.

    Yet, in the Bible, not only does it record David killing Goliath...
    but "his dark side", when he had sex with Bathsheba, and had her
    husband Uriah, murdered.
