Just about every U.S. federal holiday there are a plethora of think pieces, tweets, and interviews about how America is not appreciative, pious, or reverent enough; we have lost sight of why this particular day is important. I do like when people bring up the issue to make a public policy point or to present data, but I groan when they start to infer that America is in decline because of this irreverence. Labor Day is not much different.
