Worked from 6am to 9:30pm I’m spent Now that's a long day right there . It is definately a long day ---=- are you a farmer/ rancher. If you are you should be used to it by now. Ever notice how on some jobs 8 hours can seem like an eternity and how on others 13,14.16 is the "normal" . That being said, I've had some 6 hour days that kicked my (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) , and some 14's that I was ready to go out and party after.

slaves were not freed by the presidents executive order (emancipation proclamation) They were not freed untill a constitutional ammendment 2 years after the executive order. I have no problem celebrating the freeing of American slaves. Should have been a holiday a long time ago. Be a cold day in that hot place when I celebrate a president assuming authority he does not have. https://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=false&doc=40The 13th amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States, passed the Senate on April 8, 1864, and the House on January 31, 1865. On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln approved the Joint Resolution of Congress submitting the proposed amendment to the state legislatures. The necessary number of states ratified it by December 6, 1865. The 13th amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." In 1863 President Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring “all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” Nonetheless, the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation. Lincoln recognized that the Emancipation Proclamation would have to be followed by a constitutional amendment in order to guarantee the abolishment of slavery This right here! So many people dont know the difference between the 13th amendment and the EP. As far as being a holiday, I think its a very American, freedom loving holiday and is overdue. We can get rid of personal holidays like MLK, Columbus and Washington.

i see it as a celebration of freedom. not face rubbing. i suspect bidet sees it as proof he has precedence for declaring law like the king he wants to be
