>>Times were different!
That they were. Our job is to ensure that society grows and improves so it's better for those who follow, not to drop today's morality onto the past hunting for grievance that cannot be changed unless you own a DeLoreran with a flux capacitor. IMHO there's a good reason for the statute of limitations, not least that two wrongs don't make a right (though two Wrights may make an airplane.)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
