What happened to Labor Day?

Today, Monday September 6 is a national holiday -- Labor Day.  But yet how many people in the American society are truly acknowledging the intent of this day? Or they just looking at another day off, or a day of BBQing and family picnics? 

We have lost something here.  A great something.   In the interest of the big corporate dollar many people are still working on this day.  When I grew up there were extra lessons in school the days before noting the purpose and value of this day of tribute.   We also were taught to extend the boundaries of the definitions of Labor to include many other factors and professions.   

Here is another view of this concern which goes further in depth.    http://tinyurl.com/3ywuaoa
