Holidays are supposed to be one day vacations, so, since there's no "room" for Columbus Day, which is a legal holiday of course, the only place to post "Columbus Day thoughts" is here. Hope everyone had a happy Columbus Day(It should be noted that it is hereby acknowledged that a lot of places and people do not celebrate Columbus Day, so they don't do any vacationing at this time.)

...But, Lowell, you didn't give your answer to the question, where would we all be without Columbus?

Oh I see, it is a link and a question begins the article at the link. Another later adventurer would have brought Europe to the New World. Science was already acting independently of the Church. The industrial age might be slightly different, maybe less hurried without the competition from American entrepreneurs.
As for the people here, some say that most of us who are born here are reincarnations of the Native Americans who lived here. We would be living more like hippies, in tents and huts and half buried sod structures, smoking the peace pipe and having visions induced by peyote.
