Labor Day

He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor. - Menander (342 BC – 291 BC)

In honor of Labor Day, I will be taking a brief vacation from this blog.

For an excellent history of Labor Day, please visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s History of Labor Day webpage, http://www.dol.gov/opa/aboutdol/laborday.htm, which closes by affirming, “The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom, and leadership - the American worker.”

Happy Labor Day to all !
