I feel much the same way about Columbus Day (at my house, it's just referred to as mass murderer day). Of course, the blacks seem to feel the same way about President's Day celebrating slave owners like George Washington.
There are always multiple views of any issue. I am not in favor of a day devoted to one person who had a loud voice in a turbulent time - and if the beating of his mistress, etc. is true, I'd equate him with an eloquent version of Mike Tyson. Perhaps the day should have been coined as a celebration of integration?
Thanks for the very interesting, thought-provoking post!

So, you went to one of those schools that taught Revisionists History?
Something must be done about today's public schools, we must find teachers that know enough to teach.
My pleasure!
