Rant:
And what to do about Columbus Day, celebrated in the US and other countries?
The Europe-centric idea behind this date, although certainly the Italian diaspora is entitled to venerate Christopher Columbus, feels terribly old-fashioned.
Many US communities have changed the holiday to Indigenous Peoples Day, or don't acknowledge it at all anymore.
It's not a day off from work, although the US Postal Service and banks are closed, so it's really a sort of mess.
Alternatively, there are indications that Norse settlers 'found' North America in the 1000's, and Polynesian and Japanese travelers may also have landed centuries before Columbus.
In Michigan, there is evidence of Phoenician expeditions, which match with petroglyphs found near Toronto, Canada.
There is a heavy bias towards 'nothing was there until Europeans noticed it' that is sophomoric in this day and age.
Just sayin'...
End rant.
Happy Thanksgiving! Petcretary IS Canadian...

ReplyDeleteSorry. Guess I'm getting cranky in my old age. So I will just look at the wonderful photos you have that sweet kitty and forget all about what today is. Or what today used to be.
ReplyDeleteDidn't see your earlier post, and am curious as to what you typed. Email me if you'd like.
DeleteGood rant.
