What does Labor Day mean to you? Walmart? Enron? 40 million (Actually 100 million are unisured for at least 3 months every year but nobody seems to care...) uninsured Americans?

Go team!

1. I think most DUers think that the "Wobblies"
are bar customers that have been cut off, and are walking to the cab.

I'd have to be almost 100 years old to remember them!

3. Rule by the proletariate.
That is what it signifies. Capitalism can work well, but not when it favors the bourgeoisie.

5. Big Bill Haywood hasn't been forgotten-
His legacy lives on, especially in parts of the NorthWest.

Names may change, but movements continue.

6. They still exist?
I thought they died out 100 years ago or something like that.
