Maybe Labor Day can be more than bbqs and facebook statuses. Maybe it can be a day for everyone, on both sides of a transaction, to consider what kind of future we all want. Not to just be content with past victories, but to acknowledge that there are still battles to be fought, at home and abroad. Maybe it can be a day that we act, we take to the streets and demand more from our corporate overlords. Maybe there are already such demonstrations going on, but they aren’t deemed worthy by mainstream media? The fact is, we will only achieve change by working together, whether through formalized unions or rag tag grass-roots efforts. We have to stick together with an eye on the future, and a better life for all inhabitants of America, and planet earth.
