Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 According to my on line calendar, tomorrow, 10/12/2020, is both Columbus Day and Indigenous People Day. And we also get a Blue Moon. October seems to be special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I was just amazed to discover that this year Columbus Day is actually on Columbus Day. Usually it would be on the 11th or the 14th or some idiotic day like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 When I was in 7th grade I found out that Columbus never set foot on our shores. All he did was discover the Caribbean islands. Ever since then I haven’t paid much attention to Columbus Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not to worry Forty Rod, they never pay attention to anything I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about the same time that I discovered that Irish fishermen had been fishing of the New England coast for about four hundred years before Columbus was born Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Others found it first but didn't stay. After Columbus rediscovered the once again new world, here we are. The Caribbean is part of it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Columbus was also the first person to discover this land that was actually recognized by a major country at the time, Spain and the Queen of Spain financed his trip. He's also Italian and in the Italian community he is looked up to. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Christopher-Columbus/The-first-voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 On the other hand the Spanish Conquistadors and the Catholic Church killed millions of Indigenous people. Directly or indirectly from European diseases. But that OK. Columbus Day needs to go away. The entire world knows the Vikings discovered the America's. Before that, whatever you want to call the people who came over the land bridge from Russia to populate the Americas. Human sacrifice vs. the Inquisition humm about the same I'd say.
