Monday, September 2nd. The Labor Day Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

"Idle old man,
That still would manage the authorities
That he hath given away!"

King Lear, Act I, Scene 3, Lines 16-18.

Of course, I had wanted to post a labor or pro-union theme for today, but when I ran across this quote, the topicality of it inspired me to change the subject.

However: Union strong!

Happy Labor Day!
