There is some stuff in the past that we don’t need to revisit:
1. We polluted our air and rivers horribly. We might have gone too far with current clean air restrictions, but our rivers and lakes were really bad for a while there.
2. There was racial discrimination. Again, we have gone too far into Affirmative Action land, but America wasn’t a great place to live for a lot of blacks in the 1950’s.
I, in no way, wish to revisit the above circumstances. With those two additions (or corrections) I heartily agree with your list.
I vividly recall when you travel you’d throw your paper cups and trash out the window. It got so bad that they started a slogan campaign, and I think the winner was “Don’t Be a Litter Bug.” It was us kids that were mad at the grown ups. It didn’t take long, and the NOBODY threw garbage out the window.
Ya wanna change our country for the good?
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
