Sadly, social activist and author Howard Zinn has passed away at 87 from an apparent heart attack while traveling with his daughter Myla.

RIP Howard, you taught me a lot. Too bad the people and the powers that be did not listen to you in your lifetime.

If he's a liberal, then that may be why I've never heard of him. I only keep up politicalwise with what I really need to keep up with and really don't delve into politics that deep...

Thanks, Eileen. That's one to tape to the mirror, or something. Go back to often.
