Happy Labor Day to all my fellow Americans. If we were on the metric system, we'd celebrate Labor Day on May 1st, like the rest of the planet. But in the American measurement system, the metric May 1st works out to be our first Monday in September, so I guess it's all how you look at things.

A lot of socialist countries celebrate the worker's holiday on May 1st. There are those who believe we (the States) picked a different day, exactly because communists and socialists celebrate on May Day.

Not saying that metric countries are communist or socialist, I was just poking fun at the US picking a completely different day from the commonly accepted international worker's day.
