The Black Plague

All the citizens did little else except to carry dead bodies to
be buried [...] At every church they dug deep pits down to the
water-table; and thus those who were poor who died during
the night were bundled up quickly and thrown into the pit. In
the morning when a large number of bodies were found in the
pit, they took some earth and shoveled it down on top of
them; and later others were placed on top of them and then
another layer of earth, just as one makes lasagna with layers
of pasta and cheese.

The ______________holiday is the only national holiday that is overtly

insulting to millions of Americans. It is now universally understood that
____________ did not discover the American continent. That concept is
deeply insulting to American Indians and many native-born Americans of

10,000 years, and scientists have proven that numerous other explorers
had arrived on this continent from other parts of the world long before
_________. It is also now known that many of the things we once believed
about ____________ were myths, and that much of what we did not know
about him would seriously tarnish his image, to say the least. This
petition, however, is not meant to be an attack on _____________, but
rather an appeal for a holiday that is not insulting to any American.

deeds of the Church? Look at the ghastly shedding
of blood by Julius II. Look at the outrageous tyranny
