One Who Yawns
Labor Day sought to create "a day off for the working citizens".
That is and was a good thing.
Reminds me of Geronimo, who was a Bedonkohe Apache. He was wise beyond all that. He, and what was left of his people were screwed by us..the US.
He said:
As to the future state, the teachings of our tribe were not specific, that is, we had no definite idea of our relations and surroundings in after life. We believed that there is a life after this one, but no one ever told me as to what part of man lived after death...We held that the discharge of one's duty would make his future life more pleasant, but whether that future life was worse than this life or better, we did not know, and no one was able to tell us. We hoped that in the future life family and tribal relations would be resumed. In a way we believed this, but we did not know it."
Anyway, in 1918, his bones were stolen...not that he needed them anymore, but that is some Bad Bad Juju.
