It's Columbus Day - the day to celebrate how Cristbol Colón came to the Americas with a band of pirates and decided to take over the land and indigenous peoples, bearing gifts of disease, slavery and religious persecution.
Ugh. Why do we still celebrate this day? By now, everyone should know that Columbus was NOT the first European to discover America. The Vikings were. Duh.
Lief Ericson never gets enough credit. Supposedly Oct. 9th was Lief Ericson day, but nobody knew about it. --_--
