All political correctness debates aside, I don't think Columbus especially deserves a holiday.  He didn't REALLY discover America; he simply made it known to Europeans.  (And he didn't prove the world was round either; the ancient Greeks nearly 1800 years before Columbus' first voyage.)  If anything, Columbus Day should just be a day to celebrate Italian-American (and possibly Native American) history.

Of course you do Wulfric, you're from Minnesota. Tongue
