Happy Labor Day, Scruffnecks! …. and that has nothing to do with the color of your collar.
Everything of great purpose comes from within, and from a loving God. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said:
“The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.”
Yes, it’s Labor Day in America. We pause and celebrate work, productivity, problem solving, and the value of our workforce. A nation built on ingenuity – so long as we tend the flickering flame of liberty.
So, to all my brothers and sisters who do not take part in the grand lies that surround us, THANK YOU!

No other nation on earth was ever conceived on the principle of allowing people to manifest their own destiny, while keeping government out of their lives. The vision, the premise and the purpose, was to allow you the freedom to determine your place in life; and even, at any time, change that determination and strike off in an entirely new direction.
Our labor and aspirations would not be pre-determined by caste, tier, creed or social status; but rather by our personal vision for our own future. The right of self-determination.
Labor Day is a time to reflect on the value of work; the great personal benefit of endeavors achieved; the pride in accomplishment -regardless of scale- amid this thing we call life; and all of these considerations have absolutely nothing, not-one-thing, to do with the money we assemble in the process.
