actually, I think, freemanwalking

that two particular days, Columbus Day and Thanksgiving, shoiuld have added to them some way of commemorating the indigenous peoples that suffered due to European conquest.

Honoring them.

They really should be included in these commemorations, since they were heavily involved.

Xeno-x, It has been the experience the world over that people murder
with impunity and without any sense of guilt in the name of religion. But if only we can cling on to the better side of it and not become fanatics is good enough, I think.

All part of Christianity's deplorable record of murderous intolerance.
