Hey, ya'll. If you're between the ages of six and fourteen, you know that Christopher Columbus (or, as his parents knew him, Christy) discovered America on October 10, 1492. If you're between the ages of sixteen and five-hundred & nineteen, you know that Christy Columbus fell upon the Bahamas archipelago of what he named San Salvador. And there was much slaughtering of native peoples. The end.
For a more dignified presentation of the West's salacious conquest of the Americas, I present very-smart-person Noam Chomsky's thoughts on the matter:
