Reflections on Columbus Day, Columbus, and Political Power
In reflecting on Columbus Day, which is now only sometimes celebrated by a few brave citizens, people across the nation may be surprised that what they have learned about Christopher Columbus in school is more than likely quite incomplete. A more complete understanding of the history of Columbus would express much about the current fight between the common people of the United States and the autocratic politicians they elect in election after election. People are lied to, they believe the lies and promises made by liars, and they trust their lies enough to elect them to office, and then they discover the lies and the true nature of the politicians they elect. Some politicians even lie about their support of free and fair elections because they were not elected in a fair election. But, once they take office, not much can be done.
