Another Day and I Still Don't See Your america

As we celebrate the birth of genocide as we know it from our modern history, let us think of what this country was founded on.
A man born in Italy could not obtain the support of his own country to explore new trade routes. This leads me to two questions. One; why did his own country not want to support him. Two; his travels were supported for trade routes due to growing imperialism. So this countries first initiation into white history is based on capitalism and imperialism by a man not supported by his own country. Not going so could so far.
Although deniers will dispute this, Leif Ericson was the first of the white race to land here. Why is Leif buried in the history annals and not taught in school? Maybe because he didn't set out to find this place for money, maybe he didn't kill enough people, maybe he didn't do it in the name of the all corrupt church. To think a Norse viking didn't kill enough people...
Columbus also used christianity as the reason for his travels. So money and god went hand in hand even back then. Why is our history taught based on what europeans have written and not based on the stories of other cultures? Why are these other cultures quelled and culled from the planet as if a plague? Could it be these other cultures rather Kenyan or Iroquois have lived in harmony with nature and never against it?

Thanks a Lot Friends

The truth will always create staunch enemies. The truth will get you into places you may not want to be. The truth will give you the strongest friends. The truth will give you reason to thank those friends for getting you to where you are today. Thanks to all those who helped me along the way, thanks to all those I have been fortunate enough to meet. Thanks to those who helped me help others. Thanks to those who came and went. Thanks to my adversaries.

Give Thanks and Give Back

Adbusters created this buy nothing day idea and it caught on... Well it caught on to the people who would normally not buy anything anyway.
So rather than just buying nothing on black Friday, why not buy nothing on Thanksgiving day itself. So many people have to work on days that others have off, why not give them and yourself a break.
