Wierd history
Today is coumbus day[celebrated]. A holiday the italians celebebrate. There is a catholic organization, the knights of columbus, who are very influential in many catholic churches. Here comes the weird part. Columbus was a spanish jew. The spanish inquistion made judaism against the law. They were expelled from spain. The vatican, which started the inquition was against jews. So how the hell is a jew honored by a country that him removed from another country a catholic symbol???? I made three acts of contrition before I posted this.

I have no idea. I just hope that when he got here, he wore a has mat suit while explaining to the Indians just how difficult it was for them to get measles. I hope he told them that the odds of measles coming to their shores was very low but if it made it there, they were able to control it. I hope he encouraged them to trust him and to keep the new world open to more white folks with other diseases. I hope that he told the Indians that did get sick that it was their fault because they must have done something wrong. :)

Is there a modern occurance to this parable I'm not aware of?
