I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Labor Day

I'm not sure what all I'll be posting over the weekend. If I don't type at you beforehand, have a great Labor Day.

If you like your weekends off, go thank a union member.

If you like not working 12 hour days (not that this applies to me), go thank a union member.

If you like your holidays off (the business trends are going against this, again, and is one of the reasons Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol), go thank a union member.

None of these things are "market driven." They're worker's rights won by unionization and collective bargaining.

And if you like that this is a long weekend, go thank a union member.
