The second Monday in October is the day we celebrate the achievement of Christopher Columbus in making a daring voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to discover, not the East Indies he sought, but a new pair of continents: North and South America. Such celebration is no longer politically correct, because your European ancestors and mine stole this continent from the earlier arrivals, formerly and misleadingly called "Indians."
Here at COTTonLINE we occasionally enjoy being politically incorrect. We continue to honor the achievement of that intrepid Genoese navigator and explorer, Christopher Columbus, aka Cristoforo Colombo in his native Italian.
