Your Morning Amerigo
For Tuesday, July 1st, 2025
Week 121 of our regular morning feature here at Friedman of the Plains Worldwide in which we highlight the great words and works of great men and women, as well as those who are insufferable, delusional, and even fictional.
This Week Amerigo Vespucci
“The philosopher said: It belongs to the world!
”The ignorant sailor cried: It is mine!”
And lo, the sailor wailed, waving his red cap, "Tomorrow belongs to me!"
Wait, wut? You mean Columbus was an ignorant sailor? This undercuts every prospector, explorer out there. Personal rapacious ambition in service to humanity? Where's the Rockefeller in that?
