Columbus can be hailed as an accomplished navigator and courageous
explorer, but in my opinion his less noble and more ambitious
motivations make him a much more human and far more interesting
character.

Oh Geeze.... I knew if I went directly to the bottom of the post I
would find the "but"... I was not dissappointed...


So what if Chuck admires CC's gumption instead of his landing place? It
doesn't change the fact that he didn't discover this country. Even my bank
has figured this out, and is now open on Columbus Day.
