Dunno who originally "discovered " America, but if it ever was "discovered" it certainly wasn't by Columbus, Celts, Vikings or any other lost soul from points East. I know some folks whose ancestors were in the Northern part of the continent 27000 years ago, according to genetic science. EUROPE hadn't even been "discovered" then!! Clinton----99.5% of the time I enjoy and respect your postings---but hey!---will you respect MY right to look askance at those who expect me to believe in Adam and Eve, the chosen people, or that Charleton Heston climbed a mountain, blathered to his God in a burning bush, and clambered back down carrying a great muckle stone wi' the Hebrew laws carved on it? In truth, I have friends [on both sides of the Atlantic] who are Wiccans. Their beliefs are ridiculed by many of those who are followers of Moses Heston---but I find them much more credible than the fanciful passages in the Old Testament.
