Too many eMails and store ads in the newspaper and on TV wishing a “Happy Memorial Day” or “Celebrate Memorial Day” to push their products.
Apparently very few in business know (or care about) the true meaning of Memorial Day.
I say save the “Happy” and “Celebrate” for Independence Day - That is not what Memorial Day is about.
Yes, like all Holidays, it seems they are more about capitalism than the day we are celebrating, but Capitalism is still great.
I consider it still the best option for man to be free on the planet, even the bad is not as bad as the good of other types of economic systems of the world.
