No. Very few private businesses close. It is just another day that the federal (and some state) government employees get to have off. So the real question is whether the lazy, overpaid bureaucrats should have yet another day off. I vote fuck no.

No. Labour Day should also be eliminated. The Constitution's anniversary should be made a holiday instead, and Columbus Day should be restored to a more prestigious position than that to which it has been demoted.

He impacted millions of people. His dream has been co-opted and perverted beyond any vision the man, himself, had but it is still a good dream. You guys do know he was a Republican, right? Both him and his father. (ETA: well, beardog30 and some others do) Fucking Bobby Kennedy threatened to jail them both so they changed over to Dem. I probably would too to stay out of jail and keep spreading the word. Labor day?, fuck it, get rid of that one if you want to get rid of anything. |
