I stand by my statement that Columbus proved the world was round. Of course the ancient Egyptians knew that, but, they wer'nt europeans, so, they didnt count. Secondly, I do blame this foolishness on what is being taught. Too many people stop learning the day they leave school. If I were Italian, I would be too embarassed to march in that silly parade. They have much to be proud of...Columbus is not one of them.
