Thursday 12 October is Columbus Day. This Monday holiday BS has sucked all the meaning out of our National Observances.
Just another long weekend with phantasmagorical sales, or should I say "events," designed to part us from our money.
If we are to memorialize some historic event or person, I respectfully submit that we should memorialize that event or person on the day that gives rise to the memorial impulse.
"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense."
