Subscribe to RSSThe EPA today published a photo feature by Attila Balazs, who spent a day with a group of seasonal workers on a farm in eastern Hungary. According to Balazs, the laborers are poorly paid and seldom know what they will work on from day to day. During the summer harvest, their working day begins at 6 am and ends at 2 pm, avoiding the worst of the afternoon heat.

thank you first responders. thank you.
it is a crime against all that is good in america that at least representatives from each firehouse, ambulance, police dept, all first responders , hospitals, and religious group are not included in the official ceremony. shame on you new york officials!!!
every person present, should turn your back on these politians when they start to speak.
wave your flag, badges, prayer book, pictures . your silence will be r o a r i n g !
remember them on election day.
before the first person starts to speak. i would start to say the lords prayer as a group, or a prayer of your faith. this is not the day for political speeches.
