BUT! History was a kaleidascope of ongoing dramas involving all sorts of 'explorations' by all types of people the world over, with the impact felt to this day. It was bigger then myth. Now myth has distinct advantage over the truth in that it's based upon facts, but, in case of adolph columbus; there are lotsa tough, ruthless and increasingly demanding people such as the Amerindian First Nations who will only consider the crimes of olde as 'in the past' ONLY if the benefactors of those historic injustices stop pushing rightwing fascism on us, and lying like banshees while doing it!
Either the pig stops screwing around, or maybe we arrange free bacon throughout the americas
