come to the summit and protest says Zinn from his $1000 armchair at Boston University

[PHubb]

actually, he was sitting in an old armchair (favorite) in his very old house. Howard was not wealthy and what little money he had he donated to grass roots progressive causes.

if it wasn't for pittsburgh there would not be a steel industry,coal mining industry or unions. leave our city alone.also oil.

Tell that to Obama and the G20 - they chose Pittsburgh for the summit where they will decide how to divide up the world to make rich CEOs richer and to our detriment. We still don't have universal medicare for all healthcare - the wars are still going on - nothing's changed. People need to get into the streets and protest!

[PHubb]

'This is what WORKING people need, this is what home owners need, this is what consumers need' Zinn's addressing the working class here - who happen to be the vast majority of people on the planet. He's saying we need to stand up for our interests against the oligarchs and ruling classes represented by the G20. It's time to fight for universal healthcare - medicare for all - jobs, and an end to foreclosures and the wars.

TAX the RICH and Corporations! End the tax

burden on working families

Howard Zinn is awesome!!

[jeepndesert]

agent provocateur. maybe you should look it up. tyranny is a bit more high tech. g20 bankers just stole 23.7 trillion from the american people as reported by bloomberg. the television news doesn't tell the retards about what is really happening. that is just the tip of the iceberg.

@PHubb Thanks for defending zinn. He is truly a great historian. When I read his "A People's history of the United States" I respected him ever since. He was a great man. May he R.I.P.

Don't tell them what you need because they'd rather burn in hell than give you what you need. We simply need to just DISPOSE of them... PEOPLE, THEY ARE CORRUPT AND WORKING TO DESTROY AMERICA... WE NEED TO GET RID OF THEM... IT'S NOT OUR RIGHT, IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY...

god bless this man!

Underground resistance fighters in Nazi occupied Europe need to fight evil Nazism! You can't do it with your bare hands so make sure to grab some Nazi German made pistols, you can't get much range out of a Luger so make sure to get some Nazi German made rifles, you can''t get much firepower from a Mauser Kar98 so make sure to grab an MP40 from a dead kraut.

Are these underground resisters really that foolish?

[twowheelsgood28]

are you kidding me? You really think

the status quo is working. We

have double digit inflation, we are doing

a terrible job of educating our children,

the divide between the rich and the poort

is widening.

Wake up..

[twowheelsgood28]

People need to stop going to Wal Mart.

Support local businesses....

Wake up!!!!!!

I think your right to a certain extent but most success stories can be attributed to the resources, opportunities, and connections around them. If you are raised in an urban ghetto where your hierarchy of needs is survival first, and the educational system is so bad, you can forget about a professional career. The only other economic opportunities are in businesses limited to liquor stores, bonds, and fast food. Its hard to leave when you rely on a inclusive public transit system.
