But Head, all the perceived mistakes are already known and in the past! Some are wearing blacked-out bicyclist glasses and can only look through the re-view mirror! Does that view give any real insight into our future?

So many things have changed for the positive. Sure, there potential bad events that could occur. Throw'em out there. Allow debate, along with debate of the potential positive events. Look ahead!

Think about what I believe you're suggesting. "Let's allow endless bitching about things that happened years ago". Why, praytell? It's like complaining about being short. Accept it, get over it, look (up and) ahead.

JMHO,
