America

I just read this story about how there is some evidence that the Chinese got to America before Columbus.  Why is anyone still having this discussion. Besides the fact that there were already natives on this land I thought it was commonly accepted knowledge that Chris and his cronies weren't even close to being the first after the natives to land on the land mass known as the Americas. Who it was is still debated but that C-bear was first seems almost ludicrous in the face of some evidence.  There just hasn't been enough cohesion in the evidence to point to one person or group and it is also pretty hard to destroy the myth of the big C's great discovery.
