Happy May Day - Beltrane or Whatever Comrades

Today is May Day, which in Iowa means road construction and May baskets. In the other parts of the world where they just don't understand market forces like we do, today is a celebration of workers. In these places they speak other languages and have funny food. Some of these places are actually in the good ol' USA. I speak of course of Vermont and Massachusetts, which of course are barely in the United States. Having served time in Vermont, I can personally vouch for this. It is the only state of the union that has a Beltane/May Day celebration on the statehouse lawn. Generally, in Iowa we keep our maypole dancing to ourselves, forget the whole Freudian thing with candles. So climb up on your Bulldozer, and knock down something. You'll feel better and it will keep all those tree-hugging green weirdoes away from our market economy.

Do your bit today and Shoes for Industry Comrade. If you still don't know what to do - go to your local cell leader and find out what your zone cadre needs.
