just finished reading howard zinn's people's history of the united states - ive got to stop reading books like this they just frustrate me when i read about the idiocy of governments
now i could sit here in the pseudo-socialist paradise and thumb my nose at a corrupt and criminal american political system but this is not merely an american phenomenon - the canadian government is also infested with corruption and stupidity - just look at provincial governments that think that hospitals and schools should be run on a business model and that the bottom line is more important than a healthy and well educated citizenry
aside from that the book is excellent - i highly recommend it
