lol...always thirsty....I think you can decide for yourself...I think this is a bold move...I'm just letting bold individuals know about it

Been saying this for a while. Actually, what is like to see now is businesses having a tax strike. All businesses refuse to pay federal taxes. Government cannot function without the taxes collected from businesses. Tax strike!

Whether legally recognized as a holiday or not, many humans set aside 1 day of the year to honor the lives of 1 or more remarkable people under a common theme -- Labor Day, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparent's Day, Secretary's Day, MLK Jr Day, Presidents' Day, etc...

So, how about Producer's Day on September 2nd? If producer's wish to take the day off, good for them...

Just to be clear, I am not trying to incite riots or other dangers from a mass movement of blind devotion, chanting, rain dances, or whatever... I as an individual (a leader of only 1 = me) am humbly throwing out the suggestion to all other honored individuals, who have the free will to choose whatever they wish...

Stay thirsty my friends...

Not me.

you always portray some odd sentiment that I don't identify with...I wonder who does?

what bullshit. individuals coming together to express similar sentiments can have a powerful impact. else, JG by himself, standing alone, would not have thought compelled to encourage others he saw as worthy to join him.

excellent reply

I am going to quote you out of context immediately...:) who in the sam hell is heather?

+1 for that! In _The True Believer_ (a book favored by Ayn Rand) Eric Hoffer posited that people who join mass movements are losers who seek to explain their failure by pointing to external enemies who have prevented their success. They join causes that let them be a part of something bigger, enjoying special truths known only to a few. The mythic story of all mass movements goes: "... In the past, we had a nearly perfect society. But evil people stole it from us. If we all work together, we can build a better world, not for ourselves, but for our children.
..."

I don't agree with striking, but I don't think it's wrong to make the suggestion. IMHO there's nothing wrong with asking for anything, and there's nothing wrong with saying no.

That being said, I can't stand the argument that that says "I'm a misunderstood genius who could be producing amazing value as a business leader, but I'm so mad about politics that I feel morally compelled to deny the looters the fruits of my genius and to fight for what's right by staying home and watch cable news commentary tell me how everything's going to the devil. "

An individual making a recommendation is neither a demand, order, or requirement. Any individual reading my suggestion is free to choose his/her actions or make their own recommendations.

I hope that isn't the last we hear of Frank.

Yes! We individualists should all do the same thing at the same time for the same reason to show that we are united in our individualism. (I only hope that no one quotes me out of context.) Why should "we" all shrug just because _you_ say so? Is it because you are the Lead Cheerleader, the real Heather with the Bow in her hair?

We should all go on strike ("shrug") that same day...

Good for him! Now, it will be interesting to see what happens.
