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. **************AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs.
