I am looking for a statue of Christopher Columbus in either Minneapolis or St. Paul, MN (and their suburbs). I know of the one at the Mall of the State Capitol building, but I am looking for another, either indoor or outdoor. Thanks.

I was reading some History textbooks on early American history when I found a huge lack of information in the text. Christopher Columbus did not cope with the natives, him and his slaves enslaved them, and put them to work in cotton fields, mining gold, and other things. The pilgrims did not come to the Americas in search of new land. They came because of their want of gold! The texbooks don't mention any thing on this and what kind of person Columbus was. They don't even say how he paid for the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria.
You absolutely MUST read "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James Loewen.
He covers these topics and many others. He taught history at a unversity and couldn't figure out why he first had to get his students to "unlearn" what they'd gotten from their high school American history textbooks.
One reason is that these textbooks are not presenting history as it was; they are trying to teach patriotism and a sense of civic duty. Loewen calls this "civil religion." It's silly, and it does a disservice to everyone: teachers and students.
Why not tell things as they were, warts and all? What the founding fathers did, for example, was monumental and unprecedented. Do they also have to have been saints? Can't they be portrayed as the flawed human beings they were?
You will love this book. Wait until you learn the truth about Helen Keller and what you were never told about her.

I would love to see Lord Christopher Monckton wipe the floor with the false profit algore on the issue of globull sh!t warming.
Any chance of this debate happening?
Okay, how about one between James Hansen and Dr. Roy Spencer?
Nothing. Neither is a qualified scientist.
Hansen against Spencer might actually be interesting. But I doubt any layperson would understand it adequately.
And, to accurately have a debate on global warming among scientists that reflects reality, it would have to be one "skeptical" scientist against 1000 mainstream scientists.
EVERY major scientific organization says global warming is mostly caused by us.
EDIT - Glad to see you liked my idea. Can I get Best Answer for it?
"did "EVERY" major scientific organization mail ballots to all of their members or did a handful of board members or staff 'vote' for them???"
The organizations can't take positions opposed by a significant number of their members. The American Institute of Petroleum Geologists found that out when their official position was that (mostly) man made global warming was unproven. Members were resigning in large numbers rather than suffer the stigma of belonging to an organization expressing such an ignorant view. The organization could not recruit new members from recent graduates for the same reason.

The guy should be at least at a mainevent level by now.
- His ring skills are almost flawless
- Mic skills are solid
- Decent gimmick and his own 'look'
- Charisma
Your thoughts on the "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels?
They really missed the boat with Covell when they kind of botched the Sting feud. I mean, it was culminated up into one match, a match that the Fallen Angel didn't win.
Currently, I'd say he's where he needs to be though. Triple X is back together, which kind of puts his career in park, but also gets him back to his X Division roots where he can prove himself to another new audience (pending that the 2 hour slot gained a new audience). If anything's really disturbing me, it's the lack of singles ring time Daniels gets. i can't even remember the last singles match he had prior to this PPV, it may have been the Elevation X. It makes me wonder if something's up with Daniels unkayfabe, because he hasn't been getting any ring time lately, and considering TNA's extremely overbooked, it's a shocker that he's not in at least one match weekly.
I'll agree, though, Daniels was one of the first people I came to fall in love with when I started watching TNA, and from the crowd's reaction to him back then, you couldn't tell he was a heel half the time. He's great on the mic, although I'm not digging the "Joan of Dark" gimmick they've given him. Seriously, the talk to god thing is original, but there may be a reason it wasn't done before now. Daniel does it as well as he can, and he pulls off the gimmick, but it's still not a favorite. The kid oozes charisma, but then again, so do James Storm and Robert Roode, and they're floating around in Midcard Heel Purgatory. TNA needs to push their younger homegrowns in general before they all decide to go somewhere else to be pushed.

Christopher Columbus' journal from his first voyage has been lost, and only generalized transcripts have been found. I'm wondering if anyone knows where the journal was last seen, if anyone has an idea what happened to it, or any other information pertaining to the writings. Thanks.
I don't think you'll find a historian with the answer to your question. It would be quite an historic moment if you do. The only first voyage journal available was an abridgment written by Bartolome de las Casas in the 1530s. He probably had a copy of the original journal or Columbus' copy, but the actual journal has been lost to us.

Christopher Columbus came to the Americas, and wiped out the entire 8 million populated Arawak clan, and many others followed in his footsteps. But how did he specifically instigate cultural genocide. I need an elaboration and specific as to how his quest was for gold and political and how he wiped out an entire race of ppl just to achieve his goal.
are you sure thats what you need?
Instigate.. could just mean that by discovering a few new continents, he opened the flood gates for Europeans to come and exploit the Americas'.
I remember reading in "Lies My Teacher Told Me", that it is a myth he died not realizing he had discovered a new continent. Also, he wrote in his journal something like.. these native peoples would be easy to enslave… So he definately had it on his mind as he was exploring.

Christopher Carter was a defendant in a murder case in Chicago a few weeks ago. I heard he was found guilty. Looking for the full story on his case.
Are you not scared of doing so

I am currently a rising senior in high school and the college i would really like to attend is Christopher Newport University (CNU) out of Newport News Va.
My Cumulative GPA is only a 2.81 but i do have a few extracurriculars.
Played football for four years
member of International thespian society
I've done 3 play productions
and i also actively volunteer at a food pantry for people in poverty
I guess thats it, not too impressive, but my classes for senior year are pretty challenging. I'm also a 4 year Spanish student. If you've recently gone there or know anything about the school please let me know and what else i could do.
i forgot to mention my sat score was 1550 out of 2400, i know cnu omits part of the section but im not specifically sure about what my other score is.
You don't say what your SAT scores were…but a number of my son's friends were accepted with 3.0 GPAs. SAT scores in a good range are important as well.
CNU is rising…it's a public 4 year university, recently (a couple years)converted from a community college. Everything is new - the buildings, the labs, the dorms, etc and the school received 400% more applications last year than they did the year before. The administration is committed to growing an excellent school, and are moving very much into the "selective" university realm; this year they were expecting nearly 8000 applications for 1200 spots. According to their website, the AVERAGE GPA is 3.4 and average SAT is 1165.
Remember that is average - and if you show a quality first semester of your senior year and good SATs, you have a fighting chance.
