to add to yesterday's rant...

why the hell are we celebrating some fucking merchant who accidentally stumbled upon some land and ignorantly thought it was full of riches, and only cared about it so that he could get some monetary gain out of the deal? what did he do for you or me? besides, of course, start up a cycle of social and civil inequality that's led to the genocide of almost all of the native people who lived here and the enslavement of countless others who were kidnapped from their native land and forced against their will to labor for rich white bastards?

why don't we celebrate a real hero instead? where is harriet tubman day? what in the hell is wrong with this country? why the hell aren't more people fuming about it?

sheep, follow your leader.

I'd be in support of a Harriet Tubman day. How do you even create one? Do you have to go through Congress?
