All happy families look alike, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way..... Tolstoy knew a thing or two. According to the essays George Orwell wrote about Tolstoy he was a crank (as was Orwell) in his own weird ways but he had some admirable traits as well. https://bigthink.com/high-culture/tolstoy-shakespeare/#:~:text=George Orwell’s response to Tolstoy Shakespeare%2C having died,compelling argument for why we should read Shakespeare.

As in, there is one grotesque person in this race, who never should have been there. And look at how grotesque the GOP has become to put up and "champion" grotesque candidates like him. And he's not the only one. F'ing grotesque. Him... and the GQP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMRivdogs Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Had a guy come into the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor’s Center this morning saying he wanted to see America the way it used to be because they were tearing down all the statues in Louisiana. I made a point of telling him about the American Indian Nation Builders and pointing out programs about people like Robert Carter III (who wrote on his will that his slaves were to be freed). Along with the First Baptist Church archeological site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is of course that Columbus never even set foot in the territorial United States or North America. He certainly didn't discover it either, the Vikings were the first Europeans to sail the Atlantic and come here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So often when we look at historical figures, we no longer look at them with rose colored glasses, but grade them based on how they would be viewed today. With Columbus, even in his own time his brutality was such an issue that he found himself in trouble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the Columbus appreciation was designed to regard and celebrate the achievements of Italian Americans. Its sad they had such a lousy avatar. Most great figures of history have some baggage.
