Have you explored IVIg? I have a disease caused by immunoglobulin G deposits in organ tissue. I was offered IVIg (off label use) and it changed my life.

I have multiple outdoor security cameras directed at my pool from multiple angles. Part of the reason is so that if a drunk teenager climbs over the fence, dives into the pool, breaks their neck, and drowns, no one can twist it into a story in which I was supplying alcohol to a minor, allowing them in my pool, not telling them that the pool isn’t deep enough for diving, etc.

It’s a remote scenario, but security cameras are cheap.

Recognizing that the arrival of Columbus in the Americas was the start of Colonialism in the Americas and that there were devastating consequences for the indigenous people does not mean that we should be ashamed of our history. It means we should acknowledge our history.

But we should be ashamed of ourselves if we rewrite history to ignore the facts and ignore genocide.

Columbus absolutely considered the indigenous people to be human beings.

Columbus forced indigenous people to bring him gold. If they failed, he cut off the hands of their hands. He clearly understood that the indigenous people were humans who experienced pain and would go to great lengths to avoid being maimed and killed. This was just one of his many horrific acts.

Don’t forget that Columbus was sent back to Spain in shackles because of his crimes. He confessed to his crimes and was convicted. His royal pardon was a reward for enriching Spain, not a commentary on the heinous nature of his crimes.

It was a different time, but Columbus’s actions were absolutely criminal at the time. And he knew it.

Genocide was wrong 500 years ago.
