Howard Zinn, Historian, Died

Howard Zinn was a wonderful decent human being. He served his country unlike many blowhards who type trash on the internet, and many elected blowhards. He shared his education with everyone unlike most academics. He participated in current events unlike most academics. He expressed his opinion unlike most people. The introduction to his book You Can't be Neutral on a Moving Train, made me cry. He was a friendly likable accessible human, unlike many academics and politicians.
