Christopher Columbus day - Luis Bevilacqua

I really enjoyed this day in which we had a discussion about whether Columbus was a hero or not. It gave me a chance to express my views and discuss some interesting points about his contributions to our history. i believe he is a hero, very few heroes in history have been able to do a great deed without a sacrifice for the gerater good. There will always be blood in a change of culture, there will always be those who oppose, and if blood was not shed, the change would have come much later. We could possibly have ended up a third world country having to fend off for ourselves. I appreciate what he did for us and if I was in his place I would have done exactly the same thing. poeple have no clue what they want, they think they do but they dont. Give a culture a chance to evolve into the future and bring forth future eras of prosperity and they will not want it just because it will spill a few drops of blood to the ground. then so be it, let few suffer now, so that the future generations for decades to come can blossom from that very sacrifice. Try to feed a tiger and it will bite your arm off, because it doesnt know any better.
