Native Americans

I'm a native American and I have no problem with Columbus at all. In fact, 1992 is the only time that I ever attended the parade though I have to admit, I was working a block away and only spent my lunch hour there.

As for the Aboriginal Americans go, I don't care what they think. I don't take offense when they invade Floyd Bennett Field to have their powwows or anything so don't rain on my parade. (Well, it's more my wife's parade -- my parade is in March when it's the Gay Lobby instead of the Aborigines).

Interesting how you bring up St. Pat's, as the Gays have been openly marching in the Dublin and Cork parades for years. Its only in the US that it seems to be a problem.

Q: How can you tell who the gays are in a St. Patrick's Day Parade?

A: They're the ones wearing collars and cassocks!
