To be reasonable in the discussions about Columbus – the poster child for all evil, oppressive, greedy, land-grabbing, war-mongering white folks – we need to remember the war-mongering land-grabbers who occupied the land before him…and those before them… and before them…. This is important to remember about ALL civilizations. I DO NOT approve of the evils which have taken place. I just want to try to keep things in context. Should we relinquish our homes and go back to origin of our ancestors? I can’t find Eden on my GPS. 😉
