Ethical dilemma

[jay]

The current administration, undoubtedly trying to continue the process of beatifying IMO one of the worst presidents in US history, has declared the day of the funeral (this Friday, 6/11) to be a Federal holiday. I don't know what to do... I certainly don't want to buy their symbolism. Whether to ignore the day off and come in to work anyway... or possibly I could instead pursue some activity that would horrify the conservative right. More than merely freedom of speech and thought... isn't it Pride weekend in SF?

Personally, I'm taking the time off. Realistically they would have shut things down regardless of which former President died. Having said that, I'm planning an outing to Dupont Circle with trips to the HRC store and Lambda Rising on Friday.

I agree with your approach ;-). Although I don't remember a shutdown when Nixon died...
