Happy Mistaken Explorers Day! Three day weekends are lovely.
For a timeline on the history of Columbus Day, go here. I like the author's description of this day as a celebration of conquest and genocide. I wonder if the Iraqis are celebrating this day as well? Ah, no, only the conquerers get to celebrate.
I vote to keep this holiday but change it to a memorial for those who've died at the hands of imperialism.
