    DV,

    You have to know by now that people don’t have to make sense. All they need to do is to scream and act crazy and the press will be all over them (unless you oppose the war, then you’re just a stinkin’ hippie).

    Right back at cha: How many people fittingly ‘celebrate’ Memorial Day? Independence Day? or what ever day you wanna bring up? It’s more of the downfall of our manners, standards, & mores….we’re too busy to care. We just wanna P A R T Y !!!! 😉

    Susan, you are exactly right. Decorum and standards are gone in favor of parties and commercialism.

    I’m dreading the day where we get the MLK Day sale commercial with some huckster shouting “Free at last! Free at last! Buy one get one free at last!”

    I think that has been done, already, RWR.

    Not me, I know America’s labor unions are “the people that brought you the weekend” (year round).

    The Labor Day Parade today in Wilmington was an encouraging show of strength for advocates of healthcare reform and the Employee Free Choice Act. It was far bigger than last year and certainly countered the notion that the noisy and noisome teabaggers represent anyone other than the insurance industry and health care oligopoly. See for yourself at http://www.flickr.com/photos/autoplant/. Annoyingly, the photos appear in reverse order, but oh, well.

    RwR: I always thought we’d be a post-racial society when department stores advertised their annual mid-January sheet-and-linens sales, known as “white sales,” using Dr. King. “I had a dream…on my 220-thread-count percale sheets from Martha Stewart!”
