My Dagos don't really celebrate the day but simply recognize the achievement. Well half of me does.

As an always proud guido, you’re welcome, although my family didn’t come over until worker (human) trafficking in the early 1900s to work coal mines out West for the WASPs and live 8 to a single room home in a coal camp.
You don’t find us whining about it, now that I think about it. HuhYou too, TugTards, although you don’t really deserve it.

I took mushrooms one time and travelled to Xanadu, so Columbus and I have the exploration thing in common. Does that count even though I am not a guido?

My grandfather was sent over, alone, as the oldest of 11 children at 15 years old. They gave him 50 dollars put him on a boat and said "make money and send it back". He did. He worked unbelievably hard. First job was carrying 125;b blocks to the masons building the Detroit sewers. One in each hand. Worked his ass off. Saved money. sent money back to Italy. Became a foreman. Later became a milkman. When he left that job it took 3 men to cover the route he did by himself. Bought his own grocery store. Family ran it including the kids. Bought and ran other businesses and invested in real estate. built and owned 3 32 unit apartment buildings. Owned 2 bars and a bar restaurant.
No one does this anymore. No one seems to possess that work ethic now. I did it but not on the scale of my grandfather. Worked my ass off at our own family businesses and as a cop. I provided for my family. We helped friends. It's what we do.

Mostly peaceful human sacrifice.

I remember always going to school on it. I even went to Catholic school for a while and nobody seemed to care, even the Italian kids. One was a rich jerk off who bullied me in 5th grade. His family owned a construction Co. Insert stereotype here.
It was only when the woke losers insisted on trying to undermine it with Indian Day or whatever that I started to THINK and CARE.

I took a sociology course as an elective at Oregon. Can't remember the prof's name but I remember him telling the class that surrounding tribes hated the Aztecs so much they led Cortez right to them.
The Aztecs would force other tribes to compete in a game similar to basketball, loser's tribe was sacrificed.

I was taught everything was peaches and cream in North America until whitey showed up. Tribes were very nice to each other.
