Notable Quote: from Howard Zinn

The lesson of that history is that you must not despair, that if you are right, and you persist, things will change. The government will try to deceive the people, and the newspapers and television may do the same, but the truth has a way of coming out. The truth has a power greater than a hundred lies. My hope is that you will not be content to be successful in the way our society measures success; that you will not obey the rules, when the rules are unjust; that you will act out the courage that I know is in you.

~ Howard Zinn, who passed away this week at the age of 87. He had a long and fruitful life as a strong voice for the people. R.I.P. Professor Zinn
