Columbus Day

Happy Columbus Day! Today is a holiday where we celebrate Christopher Columbus finding the new world. Columbus landed on Hispaniola also known as present day Haiti and Dominican Republic. What History is telling us is he didn’t find the United States, but he has a holiday in the U.S. for finding the U.S. People wonder why our education system is so terrible. History tells us that Columbus Discovered America. That would be believable if there weren’t people were living there already. Let us not forget, Leaf Ericson landed on present day Canada before Columbus was born, but it is Canada and who cares about Canada or proper knowledge of history.

Apparently, Columbus proved the earth is round. People believed he would sail of the earth. This may be the dumbest theory ever. How did people believe this? Are we supposed to believe that people have been borderline retarded before Columbus sailed the ocean blue. The school system must be trying to make kids dumb because the Ancient Greek Mathematicians proved using Mathematics the earth is round. How about rather than celebrating Columbus for debunking the world is flat and teaching children math and how math proved the world is round.

So Columbus Day is the equivalent of giving Christopher Columbus a participation trophy. Good effort Chris. Here is a Holiday. He tried to find a new way to India and failed. I failed to get out of bed today, where is my holiday. So, this holiday fits into the American tradition of celebrating everybody is a winner even if you lost. Kids psyche do not need to be fostered, their intelligence needs to be.

 
 Let’s move onto what he did. He led genocide of native people. He could have a modern video game made after him where the goal is to conquer an island and kill as many natives as possible. Get on it Rockstar game, Grand Theft Seas: Columbus Edition. He did bring knowledge of sea winds which would have been acquired by which ever person sailed west. Enough of me kicking a dead man whose corpse has decayed enough to be pretty good mulch, enjoy your day off and maybe take a few minutes to learn something
