David:
<< I agree. 'Cept in referring to Christopher Columbus you've also
illuminated the dark side. Chris was motivated by greed & thirst for
recognition. He cut off the noses & ears of sailors who disobeyed him &
enslaved Indians to find gold for him. Those that escaped but were later
captured were fed to the dogs. One prominent Yale professor who
extensively researched Chris came to the conclusion that to honor
Columbus on 'Columbus Day' was to honor racism. >>

Albert Camus, said in his discourse of reception of the Nobel Prize
something like that "obtaining enlightenment was not anymore like
discovering America for Christophe Columbus. Our culture already
inhabits the land." So i guess that the need to cut noses, enslave
people, or make sharp distinctions between black and white is less
necessary on the path of realization.
