Happy Columbus Day!

Of course the latest theories have it that Europeans from the area of France first crossed into North America during the last ice age, using the helpful bridge of the ice cap that extended that far south in those days, and their descendants were here at the end of the same ice age when the Asian nomads were able to move in from the north, the two groups forming the native populations present when Columbus landed. But St Brendon predeeded him, also the Vikings, and St Brendon, at least, claimed to have been greeted by fellow Europeans when he got here. Anyway, what happened after Columbus happened, and now most of my native friends drive SUVs to the mall instead of buffalo or caribou herds off the cliffs. What the socialist theorists pretend to prefer is that the Euro-Asian native North Americans were left in the stone age and Europe in the iron age. What would happened then is that they would have moved in with their progroms and five year plans and the slaughter would have happened anyway, only a factor of ten worse and totally destructive to boot. Phooey!

Fellow Canucks living in the USA used to tell me they really liked the "Columbus Day sales" but that recently they have dropped off to practically nothing- now that is relevant!
