text: You want to get rid of Columbus' statues for what he did when he did it but ignore the contemporaneous ripping of beating human hearts from the victims of the people he overcame.
  
  Both were evil under today's paradigm.  
  
  Shouldn't  we use explosives on the  Chichen Itza pyramid (and the ones at Tulum and elsewhere all over Central America) at the same time we destroy the Columbus statues?
  
  That is the way under ISIS, the Taliban, Hitler and Stalin, of course.
  
  It was also done by both Catholics and Protestants all over Europe during the 30 years War.  Any church was a target.  They also killed about eight (8) million of each other in the process because 'God' told them to.  
  
   
  What could be wrong with emulating all their examples?
  
  Our 'politically correct' betters tell us that this destruction is required.  Just like all those others told their peons that destruction was required.
