Re: Colombus Day
That's no excuse, Kaiser. Columbus was an important historical figure, whose successful voyage opened the New World to the grasp of the aspiring Spanish empire. If that is a good thing or not it is up to personal opinion. He did commit atrocities, you can't deny that. I do not slander him or consider him an evil creature some extremists do, but he is, shall we say, overrated.
After all, many of the deeds attributed to him belongs to others. Even the "discovery of America" by Columbus, the old misconception, is false, yet still a "common knowledge" in the unlearned folks.
