"All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man's prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another.

Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, St. Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Groundhog Day, MLK Day, President's Day.... yea I guess I see his point.

What an idiot.

Massively good points. I posted without comment because of this. I love the history of well... anything. The histories of holidays are especially fun. There is a lot more history in Labor Day that the DOL leaves out.

He sounds like a Marxist, or at least an atheistic Hegelian: all is struggle, all is conflict; religion and patriotism mean nothing...
