01 May 05 - 09:03 PM (#1476103) Subject: RE: BS: Happy May Day From: Bunnahabhain Martin, I am being reasonable here. Please try and stay with me... Most of us here are not Jewish. Maybe in the US Passover is more widely noted, but in the UK, it was not mentioned at all last weekend. Why assume we know when Passover is? Mayday does have significant folk music connections. It is, supposedly why we're here. And a clue to the date in the name. And we're not all socialists, and some of us would rather not be called such either, thank you very much. Bunnhabhain |

01 May 05 - 10:42 PM (#1476163) Subject: RE: BS: Happy May Day From: dianavan May Day is rooted in ancient Spring rites. More recently has become a celebration of World Workers. It happens that the Orthodox Easter, this year, falls on that day as well. Its special to me because I was born on May Eve and my name is Diana. I know that the greeting was not meant for me, personally. Why should you, Martin, take it as another reason to whine about being ignored? Happy May Day, everyone. May the Goddess bless you with love, fertility and prosperity. May the world remain green forevermore. |

I'm confused about the word "NOT". Is that like "No thanks"? Did you consider the Passover wishes I posted, 24 Apr 05, to be offensive to you? If so, I apologize. |
