| I have seen dozens of people come to wide-eyed amazement when they learn a bit about the political history of May Day. Myself, I'm fond of both its nature based history and its connection with labor and democratic values. In May Day! May Day! Zephyr Teachout writes that "May Day is to Labor Day as Martin Luther King, Jr. is to President Lyndon Johnson". I like that.
