Mario,
I am honestly FOR the continuation of the Columbus Day  Celebration, in
spite of what I know.
 
====================================
 
I guess I've grown indifferent about it although I used to run up the  
Italian flag next to Old Glory on Columbus and St. Joseph's Days.  I just  
didn't 
like seeing someone demonized for his reasonable opposition to it (as  he 
explained in full here earlier today).
 
Also, I never felt drawn to re-enactment ceremonies, but over time I  came to 
see them as better commemorations than trips to the mall.  And  despite the 
usual objections to big-box stores, I admire Costco executives for  closing on 
such holidays as the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, et  al. when 
their competition, all the other stores, run Blow Out sales.
