How did you spend the "Tag der Arbeit" (labour day) demonstrating? I think that's what we are supposed to do - and that is why the day is off. I always found it interesting the day of Work is celebrated by not working. :-)

At least here in Switzerland, there were 1. of May demonstrations.

I have been cutting the grass.

Did they ask for social progress and flexible retirement age for all? In these times? The Utopia!

Well, when if not now! :-) Actually the other day I read that in 2007 the salaries had a real increase in worth, or whatever that is called in English. And I do believe, if we wait until the time is right (what ever that might mean), it will never happen. So all we really have is the NOW!

When I say "in these times" I mean socio-political ideas that run, not the amount of the pension. In accordance with you that NOW is the best.

Anya returned from Tanz in den Mai, and needed the support of The Maedel Reparatur Werkstatt.  With that i've been busy, my pleasure.

Er, maybe in your country...  Pretty screwed up, given that Chicago is the reason it even became a workers' holiday.  No one gets the day off here.  

But people are marching for immigrants' rights.  On their lunchbreak or something...
