A day to remember! May Day

May 1st, May Day used to be a day of taking baskets of candy to friends and neighbors homes. As a youngster it was a tradition that I remember well that most kids of today will never know about and now the day will have a new meaning to future generations. I don't usually like to talk of political things here, but with the news of Osama Bin Laden's death I think it ventures a discussion. After almost 10 years of grief the man behind 911 is finally brought to justice and even though it will make many feel better what does it really mean to our country. We still today on May 2nd have high unemployment rates and people still having their homes foreclosed on. Health care is still a mess and most of us still don't know when or how we will be able to retire. The future is still very much up in the air in this country and who knows if any president or congress will be able to fix it. They all seem to be more worried about keeping their jobs by blaming the others then actually fixing our country. I find it ironic that this country was founded by people that left other countries over high taxation only to start a country that now has just what they left for. Now, I am not down playing the US as there is still no where else I would rather live. All you need to do is go a third world country and you will realize how good we really have it here. The future is still very unsure for all of us. Will this death be the beginning of the end of terrorism or just bring on new attacks to our country. I guess only time will tell, for now, all you can say is great job by the military and CIA for bringing down the figure head of terrorism. Hopefully, someday, May Day will get it's meaning back as a day to give thanks for spring not as the day Bin Laden was killed.
