I don't want my pound of flesh against those who perpetrated Covid follies. What the hell would I do with it? I've already got more things than I need or can use.

What I want is to ensure:

- I never have to face down an employer over getting a shot for a disease I already had and recovered from, and therefore has no benefit to me and some risk. (I told them they were free to fire me, but I wasn't getting it. They eventually folded.)

- My grandchildren never again have to fear being masked when the science shows masks don't work and get shots for diseases that pose no risk for them.

- That healthy people never again get locked down for diseases with low mortality rates.

- That I don't have to endanger my health by wearing unnecessary masks to satisfy some science cargo cult. (My blood CO2 levels went up to dangerous levels during that period.)

- That my children never have to fear being unable to visit their elderly relatives due to policies that isolate elders without protecting them from the disease. (It's too late for my elderly relatives. The last one died in 2021. But my brothers and I defied the government to be with her in her dying days.)

- That government employees are held accountable for their actions, good and bad.

- That people never again get ostracized due to superstitious beliefs in pseudo-science.

None of that will happen if we just forgive and forget. I will never forget. I will only forgive when those demanding forgiveness repent of their actions, demonstrate remorse, and make reparations for the injuries they have caused as best they can.

One way to recognize people who have done evil -- "We did our best, we should forgive and forget." What they mean is, "We did our best to destroy you, we failed, so please forgive us and forget it, so we can do it again, next time." No forgiving, no forgetting.
