Holidays

It's the day before Memorial Day and everyone is thankful for having this holiday to kick off summer's beginning. I'm not. I'm not thankful for holidays one whit. You see we wouldn't need holidays if mankind hadn't decided to go down the road of materialism and consumerism. We wouldn't need holidays if we hadn't given up our independence for dependence on money, trade, commerce, and profit. In accepting money as a means to facilitate material exchanges, we set ourselves up for a system of control by those who produce and have as as opposed to those who don't produce and have not. I understand that tomorrow is the one day of the year set aside for honoring all those men and women who have served in the military and, mostly, who lost their lives while serving. Still, all said, it's the result of mankind's quest for material gain and dominance over others.
