[QUOTE="donner, post: 3389240, member: 277"] Lol. By pointing out that Columbus had no direct ties to north america i've somehow diminished his accomplishments? Cute. And, as myself and others have pointed out, the holiday has long been questioned and Columbus ignored as part of it. You are fine with states celebrating their own emancipation day, but not the federal government recognizing one day for it, like we do for many other days? MLK day, like Columbus day, is determined by the monday it falls in the calendar and not the actual day it was meant to honor. We've selected single days to honor veterans and another day to honor the sacrifices made to our nation throughout the years. Selecting a single date on a calendar to honor more than one moment isn't new. Heck, we even have set thanksgiving around the idea of allowing for an extra week of shopping in some years, iirc... I'm sorry that my comments about columbus hurt your feelings, though. [/QUOTE]
