All people have the right to their opinion, but only after they get the facts straight.
In every exploration and conquest, there have been negative and positive results. So far only the negative results have been stated in the media.
The discovery of the New World has made many people prosper and enjoy a better life style than they had in other parts of the world. Do not exclude yourself.
Most explorers worshipped the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Many of their sailors and occupants on the ships wanted to have that freedom and no longer be oppressed. Some of the occupants had diseases since they lived in close proximity. Science had not invented the necessary vaccines needed to cross the seas like we have today. On whom are we going to practice blame psychology? Perhaps on a man with a vision to better the human condition of that era? I beseech you to do an introspection. Throw the first stone if you do not have a conscience.

PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) Two prominent community leaders in Pueblo lost their lives to COVID-19. On Thursday, Dr. Atul Vahil and Rita Martinez passed away after contracting the virus.
Pueblo Mayor Gradisar expressed his condolences regarding their deaths. Yesterday, we lost Dr. Atul Vahil and Rita J. Martinez, two citizens who made their mark on Pueblo in different ways. Rita J. Martinez was a relentless fighter for social justice and equity in Pueblo. Dr. Vahil had a successful medical practice and while I can’t say I enjoyed the procedures he performed on me, I always enjoyed his sense of humor and our interactions. COVID-19 took both Puebloans too early and we will miss them. We grieve with their families for their loss and with all of the families who have lost loved ones to this pandemic. said Gradisar.
