Considering Genocide and Columbus Day

I was skimming this article at Mostly Water when something clicked in my head. Maybe it was the word "genocide."

As I read about what a bad man Chris Columbus was, what a good idea it is to celebrate "Indigenous People's Day," and reflected on whether Native Americans might ever make successful a claim of genocide against the U.S. government, it occurred to me that the timing of all this Turkey talk in the U.S. House is really a funny thing. What with Columbus Day being this Friday and all.
