Happy May Day to you (yesterday). In the words of Louis Lingg, one of the activists sentenced to death in the 1886 strike that inspired International Workers Day celebrations:

I am the enemy of the 'order' of today, and I repeat that, with all my powers, so long as breath remains in me, I shall combat it . . . I despise your order, your laws, your force-propped authority. Hang me for it.
