Let’s celebrate Columbus Day by walking into someone’s house and telling them we live there now. And shooting them when they don’t leave. And giving them small-pox infested blankets. And giving them new, crappy houses — which we then move into at gunpoint. And doing that again. And again.

Sigh.

    It’s bizarre that this is a U.S. holiday. Does anyone observe Columbus day in the Caribbean? You know, where he actually LANDED?

    The medical catastrophe for the New World is almost impossible to comprehend. We think of the Native disaster as about Washita, Sand Creek, or Wounded Knee. Minor killing sprees that happened hundreds of years after the initial holocaust.

    And for historical perspective, as shocking as the conduct of the Spanish in the Caribbean and Mexico may be; THAT’S HOW THE SPANISH ACTED EVERYWHERE THEY WENT. During the Dutch War of Independence, the Spanish army set out, not just to kill every human being in Protestant zones, but even the cats, dogs and farm animals.
