My hat is off to the men and women who fought the Man and won rights for workers in the streets outside the factories and mines they worked in. Most of you are dead by now from old age, but in your youth you took a beating from the police and governments pushing the company line, and pushed back harder than they could take. Change came through you, by your hands, and you were a greater generation than ours measured by your deeds and the challenges you faced.
I'm only sorry that your leaders ended up in bed with the Fed and the Mafia and in some cases the companies you fought. But what was won is ours. Ours to keep or ours to lose. Thank you for Opportunity.

Instead of having an ad-heavy blog I only ask readers to purchase my novel, "Rising." You can get it as a gift for a friend or a loved one or for yourself. It is only a few dollars for you, and every purchase is a way forward for me. If anything you read here helps, entertains, or enlightens, this is great way to show your appreciation. I will be ever grateful.
If you do not own a Kindle, you can also purchase "Rising" through Smashwords, and read it on any other device.
