I didn't read the entire link, so I apologize if this has been said.

But when they were discussing having a Labor Day, they intentionally stayed away from May 1st, a day when the rest of the world celebrated Labor Day. They wanted to break the international workers union.

On May 1st in cities like Berlin can be dangerous, deadly and fun. Depending who you are. The borough next to mine in Berlin named Kreuzberg had graffiti that said "Erste Mai, schweine sterben und autos brennen" or "1st of May, Pigs Die and Cars Burn"

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke

Dude, there are no-joke for real communists and neo-socialist types over there that will kill you if they have the chance just because you're an American. Schutz sein.
