I didn't know of Mr. Zinn. Sorry I missed him, sounds like fine person. R.I.P. Sad loss.

Good riddance. He's amongst the couple dozen most damaging leftwads America has been polluted with.

Maybe Chomsky next.

Dont worry, there are plenty of historians that are willing to relate history from the perspetive of the downtrodden these days. Robert Fisk, Noam Chomsky, Arundati Roy (sp?) and Michael Parenti to name a few. I can understand you would revel in this great mans death. He will mark down, for all of history to see, what frauds, murders and criminals are the people you support.

RIP Howard Zinn
