    Same as Arbor day, lol. Unless it gives me a day off from work, it's not a real holiday. It's just another lame ass day at work.

    It should be celebrated with a figurative (sort of) "freeing of the slaves" - a day off from work.

    I won't be too cynical about her motivations, maybe she actually believes in this. I support it....especially since this is also my wedding anniversary and I'd always get the day off! YEAH!

    The measure would have either an uphill battle or might die a quick death but it'd be nice if it passed. Won't hold my breath but it'd be nice.
