Columbus Day

My opinion on Columbus Day is that, while it is nice to have a day of rest, maybe we could rename it into something a little more politically correct. On the other hand is it really necessary to change it? It's been apart of our culture for so long and I really don't think that people allow Christopher Columbus, who has been dead for more than 400 years, to influce their decides on a day to day basis. I think that we should choose the day when America was discovered or the day when the pilgrims landed, then again that may be just as controversial. People will be upset no matter what is changed, it's impossible to please everyone so why not just leave it as is? It's worked for over 100 years so why don't we just leave it alone and let all the protests fade out. It really shouldn't be a debate, it's over and done, either accept your holiday, rename it, or just go to work anyway, there's not law saying you have to celebrate.
