They used to talk about him as he was a saver or something, but my country was also the home of thousands of natives that were killed or becomed into slaves... (as the entire continent). I totally agree with you Heb, people should be tought the truth about what we call "el descubrimiento de America" (America's discovery).

There is no reason, in 2007, after all the information that has been disseminated to the public by the truth tellers about the real history of Christopher Columbus that this atrocious holiday is allowed to continue. But then, look at the corporate controlled mainstream media. They are complicit in the ongoing cultural colonialism, infecting all of our children with the garbage that they will carry for the rest of their lives unless at some point they liberate themselves. All we can do is continue to do the work that we do to inform, inspire, agitate, incite, educate and enlighten as many as we can so that the message and the truth grows exponentially. Brother Heber,
