Members of The Order of Omega Time Travel Cult (myself included) are often asked the question “What do you think about 21 December, 2012?” Here is an official reply to that question, courtesy of Members of The Order of Omega, pictured in a recent photograph, patiently awaiting the “End of Time”.

Alfredo Tarantino tests a prototype for his “interplanetary hearing aide” with which he is seen here attempting to detect sounds of life on the planet Venus from a beach near his village in Cavalaire-Sur-Mer in the south of France in 1918. Alfredo reported that the life forms he discovered made a lot of “hissing” sounds with occassional “buzzing” and “burbling” noises. He interpreted these sounds to mean that the creatures of Venus were very similar to those on Earth.
Members of the Abundia Corona Region of the Venusian Chapter of The Order of Omega Time Travel Cult travelled from the year 8,714 AD to take this photograph in commemoration of the 3,500th Anniversary of “Earth Day”, which is the day that the Venusians took control of Earth and exterminated the pestilence formerly known as the “human race”.

The National Child Labor Committee, an organization dedicated to the abolition of all child labor, was formed in 1904. By publishing information on the lives and working conditions of young workers, it helped to mobilize popular support for state-level child labor laws. These laws were often paired with compulsory education laws which were designed to keep children in school and out of the paid labor market until a specified age (usually 12, 14, or 16 years.)ti
In 1914 the Arkansas state Federation of Labor placed a child welfare initiative on the ballot prohibiting child labor, which the voters passed.
In 1916, the NCLC and the National Consumers League successfully pressured the US Congress to pass the Keating-Owen Act, the first federal child labor law. However, the US Supreme Courtstruck down the law two years later in Hammer v. Dagenhart (1918), declaring that the law violated a child’s right to contract his or her own labor. In 1924, Congress attempted to pass aconstitutional amendment that would authorize a national child labor law. This measure was blocked, and the bill was eventually dropped.
It took the Great Depression to end child labor nationwide; adults had become so desperate for jobs that they would work for the same wage as children. In 1938, President Franklin D. Rooseveltsigned the Fair Labor Standards Act, which, among other things, placed limits on many forms of child labor.
