“This is something that I’ve struggled with for a long time,” Sarah Adams-Cornell told the station last month. “The fact that our country, our state and our city celebrate this holiday around this man who murdered and enslaved and raped indigenous people and decimated an entire population.”

And to top it off, we went and named our federal district after him.

Man, I envy Sarah Hypen-Name. I have so many things on my plate that I can't afford to be concerned with the name of a holiday.

I'd like to time-drop Sarah into the middle of the Aztec capital so she can get a good handle on murder, enslavement, and decimating populations.

Actually, I'm rather apathetic about Columbus Day, but I'm weary of the notion that my native ancestors just laid around all day, worshiping the Earth Mother and smoking peace pipes. They were actually a pretty ruthless people.
