Here's a quote from this episode which summarizes a way to view past injustices:
"It is my personal and private opinion that if they put your brains in a mustard seed, they'd rattle like a peanut in a boxcar.
Now shut up.
First, The law is the law and in times of war there is no law.
Doesn't make any difference where I was. Doesn't make any difference where anyone was.
In times of civil war it all disappears.
Second, A man's past is his past. It's what he contributes to the present that matters."
spoken by Doc to Burke re: Burke's self righteous indignation about civil war injustices done by a town citizen.
