Great quotation. Zinn was such an interesting thinker. I say him speak in 2000. I am glad that I did. His talk was rousing and I think that I will not forget it.

Ok, so I put myself in the holds queue for Kingsolver at the library. I might not get it until next summer but then I just have something to look forward to, right? 🙂
