This post was suggested in part by an illustration from Tuesday's
"The Tombstone Source" —
Politically, if not grammatically, correct Columbus Day history
comes from the Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri —
"But armed with guns, steel, and germs,
and driven by the conquistador’s lust for
gold and slaves, the population of the
Americas was decimated."
— Oct. 12 blog post by the church's pastor
The Missouri church should not be confused with other
"Word of Life" churches… esp. not any now in the news for
their activities on Monday, Oct. 12, Columbus Day, 2015.
For a related ungrammatical remark, see Schoolboy Problem.
