    My goal was to meet Howard Zinn this year. His passing is extremely sad. I've read a significant amount of his work surrounding Vietnam and, of course, People's History. What an amazing mind. RIP Dr. Zinn.

    He had a long life, and one where he was able to enlighten a lot of people. Good for him. R.I.P.

    Terrible loss. Mr. Zinn spoke at my old university last week, but I had obligations and couldn't attend. I'll probably regret that for a long time. A great loss for the world.

    A truly heavy loss, at a time where our government and our media can reflect on his words and learn from his wisdom.

    Peace be with all whom he inspired.

    “One certain effect of war is to diminish freedom of expression.”

    I have been meaning to read "People's History" for a long time but have never got around to it. Yet.

    I don't know much about Howard Zinn, but it seems he has made an impact on so many people, not the least being our boys, PJ. It seems that the lines "We were but stones/Your light made us stars" could be particularly apt for him.

    When so many talented people with so much potential pass away without getting to fully realise that potential, it's heartening to see someone like Howard Zinn, with so much to contribute, live such a long life in which to fulfil it.

    So it goes.

    His last words in print:
    "Obama is going to be a mediocre president -- which means, in our time, a dangerous president -- unless there is some national movement to push him in a better direction"

    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I had the honor of shaking his hand and thanking him for his work at Ed's solo show Boston night 2, 2008. I was sitting directly in front of him and was absolutely thrilled at the opportunity to speak with him ever so briefly. He was very gracious and I was not surprised at all. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing.
