If citizens had one fifth as much passion and a tenth the sense of justice that Terkel had. . .this would be a much better world.

Thanks for living the life given you, Studs!

Terkel is a larger-than-life man.

I have all of his books and have the greatest of respect for him.

[bapyou]

This hater closed his account. Jeez. Wonder why?

Oh my god Studs Terkel is the man

[ColeLite]

Studs Terkel was a COMMIE Jew like so many growing up in the early 20th century whose parents escaped to the U.S. to work, live, and THRIVE yet their children sought to pollute our social/political system with their ethocentrism & socialism. He (and his type) should be despised.

What are the Neo's doing?Practicing that old trick>Divide and rule and confuse the masses...ain't gonna work for too long before they all get HUNG.Rise people!...KIllem all!!!LOL

[philadkins2003]

Americans can see the neo' Republicans like Bush and McCain and Palin are trying to diminish the thought of people coming together by calling it "community organising" like it's a crime.We see that the Bush's want to take and all they want to give back for our history are lies to hide what they are doing-stealing our tax dollars and claiming the US theirs...

Americans have your lovers quarrel now,for what America can still be!!! take your minds and think for them,take your lips and speak for them,take your hearts and set them on fire.....dissention... is your right!!! your duty!!!

Studs, you inspired us as college students to be the thinking Americans, to really question the real meaning of the American Dream. You'll be so missed but your message will keep inspiring us for generations to come.
