Soldier Boy is not calling May Day for help because deep down he is just loving being a Flower Child to celebrate May here in the End of the Rainbow Valley. Altho' May 1st is International Workers Day, Soldier Boy enjoyed having the 'cool' day off.
Everyone deserves time off, an 8 hour work day and decent wages. Soldier Boy was still keeping an eye on things because once a sentry, always a sentry.
THE DAY WILL COME WHEN OUR SILENCE WILL BE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE VOICES YOU ARE THROTTLING TODAY.
"Truly, history has a lot to teach us about the roots of our radicalism. When we remember that people were shot so we could have the 8-hour day; if we acknowledge that homes with families in them were burned to the ground so we could have Saturday as part of the weekend; when we recall 8-year old victims of industrial accidents who marched in the streets protesting working conditions and child labor only to be beat down by the police and company thugs, we understand that our current condition cannot be taken for granted - people fought for the rights and dignities we enjoy today, and there is still a lot more to fight for. The sacrifices of so many people can not be forgotten or we'll end up fighting for those same gains all over again. This is why we celebrate May Day." International Workers Workplace
HAPPY MAY DAY!
Happy May Day to you as well.
