People's History of The United States Forgets History of County in New Mexico!!!
Howard Zinn died last week at the age of 87. He wrote, in one last piece in The Nation, that the lack of true courage in our President was dangerous to this country. He fought for progressive visionaries all the way up to the end. His vast knowledge of labor unrest, military duplicity, and small voices rising up from the noise pollution of public debate was stunning. Unfortunately, we at American Chaos were hard pressed to come up with anything else that Mr. Zinn did with his almost 9 decades on this earth. Like, for instance, he never invented anything , did he ever meet a celebrity, make a wall hanging out of maze, win a championship for the local sports team, or bask in the afterglow of a job well-done? It seems like the answers are all a resounding NO!!!. Sad to think that this man also was credited with writing the People's History of The United States and didn't even account for a county in New Mexico called Juevingarms (pronounced Waving Arms) where the first known soda was sipped out of a can and folks walked off their jobs one day because they set their watches and clocks to the wrong time . What might have been and what was, these will be the lasting memories of Mr. Zinn.
