All patriotic Poles and Polonians as well as friends of Poland of every race and creed should proudly display Poland's white & red colour on 2 May (Polish flag day and Polonia day) and 3 May (Constitution day). By no means should flagsother than the hammer & sickle be displayed on "red fest" day 1 May, once a day of obligatory parade attendance under the Soviet-installed regime. Workers lost b'onuses, were demoted or sacked for faling to attend and school children had grades lowered and were otherwise harangued and harassed for commiting that "capital offence".

Why shouldn't people fly the flag on an official State Holiday, as it is officially declared?

Plenty of Polish flags flying tonight, particularly to remind us of the sacrifices made by Polish workers. You wouldn't be against Polish workers now, would you Polly?

Plenty of flags up already for tomorrow.

Mayday was part of the Soviet subjugation syndrome -- Poles were pressured, threatened and blackmailed into celerbating this alien fest. Now it can be called Stalin's revenge. The inclusion of the hated red fest has placed the genuinely Polish 3rd of May observance in a week of disruption and turmoil when nothing can be attended to becuase people are celebrating a 10-day "weekend". Bad for industry, business, school learning and overall national morale.

The only redeeming non-Marxist aspect of Mayday is that, thanks to the CAhtolic Church, it honours St Joseph the Worker. Whatever the case, I hereby apologise for my country in which during a period of anarchic turmoil and confusion a hadnful of rbid socialists and anarchists introduced this abortion of a holiday in the late 19th century. America luckily came to its and has ignored that faield occasion ever since. Tomorrow all decent Americans will be back at work and school. The real Labour Day is celebrated on the first Monday of Septmeber!

There you go then. Something for everyone - socialists can have it as Labour Day, I can have it as an official State Holiday and Catholics can have it as a holiday celebrating one of the most decent characters in the Bible. Everyone wins, right? It actually seems like it's quite a unifying holiday, as there's something for everyone there.
