[lbo-talk] Zinn and Stone

[Chuck Grimes]

Just a note on Oliver Stone. It's too bad Howard Zinn wasn't around for the 
consulting gig. He tells the story in much simpler terms. Below is a brief 
thirty minute talk on three holy wars that were not: the revolutionary war, 
the civil war, and WWII.

The fat cats win, the working stiff loses and lots of people die most often 
because we the people don't have the imagination to figure out a better way. 
The central mistake is to be opposed to some development like British rule, 
slavery or fascism, and then assume the only way to fix it is war.
