Here is a quick solution to the "Walt Quote", and the current dilemma
we have:
Dismiss what has happened in the past, and let's all move forward.
While it is important to remember the past so that we can learn from
our prior mistakes (such as my own need to continue an unpopular topic
that alienated a few people, for personal reasons), let's not focus on
trying to interpret past events and quotes that have no bearing on our
future. In other words, let's start fresh, and base our modern ideals
off of our present and future needs as we see them, rather than to try
and maintain past nostalgia.
And if none of this works out, well, we'll just deal with these things
as they come along.
