When I am saying make both Patriot Day & Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day into national holidays, I am meaning to remember those that lost their lives & as a reminder not to make the same mistakes over again. Concerning MLK Day into Civil Rights Day, we should be celebrating the ideals & philosophy, not one man.

Why we're at it creating holidays, why not make a Sport Officials' Appreciation Day? Since there's days for teachers, secretaries, etc.

Concerning my returning to working the table, I have been doing more studying this year concerning rules/regulations & have been attending meetings of one of the local officials' associations.

Sorry but if this is an attempt at a joke, it's a very bad one, as my maternal grandfather was a member of a labor union.

LMAO Touche

What I am meaning is that people should be getting paid what they're worth, not working their life away while earning pennies on the dollar.

This has gotten political now, so I respectfully request you stop; or else I might be too tempted to jump in and ruin my reputation (whatever it is).

I've always thought that the third Monday of every month should be a holiday and we'd celebrate "all" events for that month on that day.

Don't want to celebrate labor day? Don't. Celebrate "autumnal equinox day" instead.

It will never happen, of course.
