MLK. This would seem to imply that in the entire history of this country he is the greatest individual.







He is not the greatest individual American though.

I wonder why he is the only individual American with his own holiday then.

It's because he has so many streets named after him.

Instructions to Blacks=Make waves big enough to threaten the shores of the established powers and you die.

Instructions to Whites=Feel good about respecting MLK and his works. You're a good person and you're not a racist because you recognize MLK as a great Black man. You will think of MLK as a Black man though and you wont ever realize why that's important.

Incorrect.

Washington's Birthday is also a Federal Holiday.

He got a Holiday named after him, because he did all sorts of awesome American like things.

You are looking at this backwards.

We need to have more holidays.

I say they need to start passing them out like candy from a creepy white mini van.

Who doesn't like to take a day off for some random federal holiday.

Pocahontas day.

Yankees Suck day

That's debatable. Erickson was probably not the first Viking to the Americas

I think we should have a holiday for a truly great American, Jack Daniels.

Wikipedia sez:
Honors George Washington. Often popularly, but erroneously, observed as "Presidents Day" in recognition of other American presidents, such as Abraham Lincoln (who was born February 12). The legal name of the federal holiday, however, remains "Washington's Birthday". (It was historically observed on February 22, prior to passage of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act by Congress)


Also, I'm assuming Paul means federal holidays. I expect we could find plenty of individual's holidays at the state level and below.

If the Indians were there to greet Leaf Erikson how could he have discovered anything?

Those savages got lost and ended up here, Erikson was exploring.

There's a difference.

Indians.

Columbus didn't realize how large the world was, finding the America's was a happy accident on the way to India.
