May day

May day seems to me one more blunder America has to add to its long list. But not just our government, also its people. It astounds me that people would be pacified by our government so willingly. They tell us one thing and with out any question or thought we are ready to accept it. Countries all over the world celebrate may day. Labor unions and hard workers gather to protest and hold demonstrations for those killed in the Haymarket martyrs. The only countries that do not celebrate May day are the united states and Canada. Although many people have tried to get the holiday official their efforts have mostly worked. The official federal version of "workers day" is labor day on the first Monday in September. Allowing our government to change and create holidays on their whim should not be tolerated. Especially when its almost a cover up, by taking the spot light of the negative event and transforming it in to a new holiday (by saying look how good we are, we're giving you a new event). Even when its the birth place of the specific event. Not taking charge in our governments actions will lead them to think that they can go and meddle in affairs that lead them to take away our rights little by little. This in my opinion does not make our lives meaningful. Being led around on short leashes and living in Americas plastic bubble leaves Americans unable to think for themselves and easily ready to accept any news they get whether its truth or fiction.
