Raymond > Protests by the low ranking had no impact on the royal decision to reward Columbus with the pension. Yes, Columbus would fit right in in today's White House. He'd be a natural.

On second thoughts, I don't agree. Columbus was far too considerate. Today's White House would have arranged for the peon to be killed by a "terrorist" and then they would have collected, not only the prize for sighting the land first, but also the peon's life insurance money!
