Sorry for the lack of updates. Did not have access to the internet for the last week or so. Am back now.
It was Columbus Day a few days ago - a public holiday in the States, it is celebrated in many country in the America.
To this day, I still can't believe so many people around the world can openly celebrate a day which marked the beginning of genocide, disease, rape, starvation, and homelands invaded and stolen every year... with no shame.

Reminds me of how the Chinese Government, to this day, still calls the invasion of Tibet a "peaceful liberation" and celebrates every year, outside the homes of people whose land they'd usurped, the dawning of disasters never seen before to this land.
Actually, it's no longer a public holiday in most States and private employers. It's only a a public holiday for the federal government agencies only.
ReplyDeleteState governments and private employers are backing away from this holiday precisely for the same concerns you've raised.
yeah it's good
