How did we lose our way? Why can't we protest now like they used to in the '60s and early '70s?

Talk about being asleep at the wheel.

The narrator, Matt Damon, used to be Howard Zinn's next-door neighbor.

It's also why Damon references Howard Zinn in the bar scene in Good Will Hunting.

How do you like them apples? =P

It was that highly voted on Howard Zinn video that influenced me to put a call out for help on building a Howard Zinn page on Mahalo (couldn't believe they didnt already have one) a few internetters sent me some links and we laid the foundation for a nice Howard Zinn net archive.

Just got Zinn's book A Peoples History of the United States. Starts off as damn depressing, guess that's the point though.
