i666an: We should, along with all other countries national holidays - perhaps if that happened, we (the world) would see that all the political upheaval and killing each other, isn't necessary with a bit of common sense.

**not a political statement - just a hope for a more peaceful world :)

hedwards: Of course there would be peace because people would be too busy with holidays to get around to killing each other. I think if you account for all the national holidays in all the countries you'd be working at most a week every year.

i666an: true, fair point - it perhaps was a bit naive - however I still wish for a more peaceful world :)
