  • Favorite Books Squandering of America by Robert Kuttner and People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn immediately come to mind, but there are way too many to list.
  • Favorite Quotes "A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom." - Thomas Paine, Common Sense

    "It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things." - Teddy Roosevelt
