[Magdalen] [Mgdln] (SPAM: ?) Who is your modern 'saint'?

[James Oppenheimer]

Oh, yes! You can hear the. Great Singer on Youtube singing "Joe Hill"

Joe was an organizer for labor when it could, and DID, get people killed
and ruined.

People such as he were willing to take just incredible risks to change the
world.

If Nnicholas Romanov and family can be considered for sainthood, then
surely Joe Hill.
