I find it very sad that the Irish, Palestinians, etc., can remember and
keep alive resentments going back centuries, but Americans as a whole
can't seem to muster an iota of class consciousness and memory for the
Haymarket, the Pinkertons, the IWW, the CIO organizing struggles, the
Farm Workers -- even Chicago 1968 has been forgotten.
Something in the drinking water in this country seems to be a powerful
amnesia inducer.
