It's great when people can do that! I've been a trashed and thrashed person in a killer country of hate, but having history and artifacts is just great for the others, civil people who aren't the enemy.
When I remember lost photos and houses that were destroyed, towns that no longer exist - I think of the people who matter, with your history and your memories and your togetherness as a generation. You, not us! Great for you! Painful and death inducing for us! Just like we made it.
