No, the confusion was my fault, unintentional tho it may have been. I was just clarifying, to avoid confusion. Sorry.

If we had been named Vespuccica. This is what I get for missing two days, I end up at the end of the comments. Oh well, good post.

There's a whole lot of space between hating Columbus and thinking it's a good idea to have a federal holiday for the guy. I can respect that what Columbus did was important for our nation without wanting there to be a national Columbus Day.

Yes, we have more comforts and gadgets, but I think in the long term we may see civilization as one of mankind's worst ideas. Assuming we all survive it.
