May Day is the world's 2nd most celebrated holiday. It was born in Chicago in 1886 out of the "Haymarker Affair" which resulted when businessmen ordered the government to prosecute eight men who were advocating the 8-hour workday & other workers' rights.

I imagined that our leaders finally might begin to listen rather than pontificate; that my generation might finally be roused from its apathetic, avaricious condition and remember that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
