He's the only guy I know of that explored a whole new world with the help of three ships. How many others can you think of that were willing to do that? In my opinion, Columbus was the greatest explorer ever known to man. So this means that if you DON'T give him the respect he deserves then you might as well rename the capital of Columbus, Ohio and any other places that may be connected to him. You'll have to rename Columbus, Georgia and Columbus, New Mexico as well as Columbus, Texas. And as for your children, well if you wanna name them after Christopher Columbus, remember. Not everybody likes him but you probably do. But that's their problem, not yours. That is, unless you DO have a problem. Either way, we should be thanking Christopher Columbus for his contributions to history instead of condemning him. He deserves to be celebrated and not persecuted. So the next time you wanna rewrite history, think about Columbus and all those who came before and after. And give them the respect they deserve. Because they're not just people, they're heroes. And the heroes are the good ones. And heroes make history. And history lives on. Because history is important. It is better to remember than it is to forget. So thank you, Christopher Columbus.
