If it works, break it.
I would become farts of flowers, farts of weeds, farts of trees,
bubbling farts of stagnant ponds.

Today in labor history, January 18, 1909: The United States Supreme Court rules unanimously in Moyer v. Peabody that governors and officers of a state’s National Guard may imprison U.S. citizens without probable cause in a time “of insurrection” and deny them their rights of habeas corpus. The case came to the court as a result of the Colorado state militia detaining hundreds of striking coal miners and union leaders for weeks and denying them their rights.
