Robert went over our last night homework with us.
We had a discussion whether is Columbus worth a holiday to celebrate for him. I personally think that he should not have deserved so much worship by today's people because he did lots of evil things like killing, and the only achievement he made is finding the New World which shouldn't be counted as his effort because the land is always there, which is not like something he invented.
One thing I thank for Columbus is that at least we have a holiday because of him!
