NOWHERE have I seen any proof that Manx is asking us to feel guilty, nor anyone else. Apart from the fact that I would probably agree with anything Manx said because of the avatar he has chosen, all I have seen him do is present us with a truth (which so far no one has disputed, so please save it for another thread).
To be aware of this truth is not necessarily guilt, but I have to say, if I was American, it'd be awfully hard to admire CC. Not liking a historical figure is in no way equal to guilt.
Besides, why is it necessarily a great acheivement to have landed in the west anyways? He didn't discover it, because there were already folks here. I realise what a difficult navigational goal it was, but you don't see many Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin High Schools, and they made it to the moon!
For those that accuse Manx of sour grapes by not talking about Genghis Khan or anyone else, well, he was specifically asked to start this thread by Lebell.
P.S. martinguerre, your eloquence is breath taking.
