This is the future if the republicans get thier way.............a few with vast fortunes, and the rest scrounging for crumbs.............history can repeat.

History will and is repeating itself

@wonderworldofnight Charlie Palloy recorded in 1932

The depression happened because people were selfsh and blew away their money. Banks went bankrupt because they had no fuel to run on.

One thing to keep in mind. In those days, people had resolve and were able to farm and live off the land. Today everything is dependent on technology and oil and henpecked husbands who sit on their thumbs while their fat wives watch dancing with the stars. Hopeless.

@MegaInvisible1 you are correct that obama and the democrats have sunk the country trillions in debt.....but keep in mind that it was an attempt to correct what 8 years of what Bush caused. Obama is in a no win situation. If he had not gone along with the expensive bail out and the economy crashed he would blamed for not saving the economy. If he does go with the big bail out and the economy crashes he will be blamed for it. (by thye way I am not a democrat)

@TheDaxbaby of course the great depression can happen again......what people do not realize is maybe it can't happen "the way it did in the 1930s",,,,,but....it can occur due to different reasons

@TheDaxbaby;Uh,HELLO McFly.!!! *thumps TheDaxbaby's noggin* In case you did'nt know...we ARE in a great depression...history will look back at this era as the great depression of 2008-???

@chasdotb History is not really repeating itself. Rather, it is simply stuttering over an issue that it OBVIOUSLY REFUSES TO EVER ADDRESS. The issue in question: liberating people from fear, in any form.

This has to be the definitive version of this song - truly spine-tingling.  Wonderful accompanying images. Thank you!

This is a very good image mix for this iconic song - share in the classroom and have the students discuss their impressions - and what the lyrics are saying.

I'm amazed at all the people I run into who say that , a great depression can't happen again.  That's crazy, but for the grace of God it hasn't happend yet but it could.

My grandparents were share croppers and manys the time they all went to bed hungry, had to take shifts guarding what chickens they had , or cotton or other things of value (lively hood) they had. It was tough but they all ejoyed their lives, they had each other , worked together and most people helped each other .
