Columbus Day Gone (in California)

C: we might as well get rid of all Holiday's nationwide.

E: I suppose we could keep holidays and just not name them.


C: Veteran's and Memorial Day bothers offends some who didn't serve and dislike war and the military.

E: My neighbor (a teacher) gets Veterans Day off work. (He is not a veteran) I am a veteran and I do not get Veterans Day off. This adds further support to my thesis that life is not fair.

E: We might honor veterans by not giving them a parade but instead giving them adequate health care, education, and employment.

E: There are (of course) those who dislike war; notably those who fight them.

E: A military (I believe) is necessary.

E: I will ramble on, on this subject in another post.

I had no choice when it came to being a veteran. I was drafted into the army. I Was on my way to Canada dressed as a woman when they caught me.

Columbus day is a pointless holiday and it's "celebrated" in an even more pointless manner. Let's honor an arrogant Italian who had the Queen of Spain hock the crown jewels so that he could lose three of the largest ships in the world and "discover" a place where people already lived...and let's do it how?

By closing all the banks.
