How far back do you go? Do we partner up with 23andme to track down some guy who originated in Mesopotamia and now owes the world's population $700 trillion?

And I don't usually like that kind of argument. Like with the statues when people ask "how far do we go, are we going to get rid of Lincoln!?" 

Totally agr-- wait . . . who gets the reparations then if we go that far back?  I'm witholding judgment till its clear whether the French owe me for how the Saxons suffered under William I.  Should be getting some land back . . . .
