9. Always have been but please with some order
Course all but the Am. Indians who most likely think we are all nuts. When did they get equal rights and citizenship? 1965 or some such date.

10. remember this is the international labor day.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Day
May Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

in three days it is the anniversity of the haymarket riot.

this is a labor movement like the one in the 1880`s and into the 30`s. does anyone think the corporations will allow the these people to unionize? thank god no one has been killed but that is coming.

11. Haymarket was about ten blocks from where this was today.
