David L. Cohen, my partner's uncle, passed away a little less than 2 years ago, after just having completed years of research concerning the land of Israel and those who claim possession.
After presenting it to an active discussion group in Camden, Maine, he was editing his work as I showed up for a visit. He agreed to allow me to upload it to the Net. I was adamant that so much work should be available to a wider audience.
This is a long article, but his research is valuable, specially in the light of recent discussions on *!* Sparticle's log and questions raised about ancestral claims to the land of Israel.
Please read it in its entirety, take it slowly if you must.
And, thanks in advance for your attention. More >

May Day - the Real Labor Day
[link]
-------------------------------------------------------------
May 1st, International Workers' Day, commemorates the historic struggle of working people throughout the world, and is recognized in every country except the United States, Canada, and South Africa. This despite the fact that the holiday began in the 1880s in the United States, with the fight for an eight-hour work day.
In 1884, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions passed a resolution stating that eight hours would constitute a legal day's work from and after May 1, 1886. The resolution called for a general strike to achieve the goal, since legislative methods had already failed. With workers being forced to work ten, twelve, and fourteen hours a day, rank-and-file support for the eight-hour movement grew rapidly, despite the indifference and hostility of many union leaders. By April 1886, 250,000 workers were involved in the May Day movement. More >
