hisoty is all relative folks. columbus is the first westerner to introduce the americas to the culture that taught all of us our history. yeah, the natives (read: mongolians who liked to walk), and maybe the vikings and the chinese came here first, but thats not the point. do you care about who was where first? dunno, thats on you. i personally think that in terms of american history, what matters the most and has the most to teach us is how fucking evil greed and disrespect for other cultures can make people act. whether it be the killing of certain groups or the enslavement of others. i dont give a fuck who got here first, i give a fuck what they did when they got here.
