Howard Zinn in “War and Social Justice”

Posted January 18th, 2009. Filed under News and politics

I’m an avid listener of various podcasts ranging from mostly tech news to political news. One of my favorite podcasts to listen to is Democracy Now! a podcast that covers mostly political news from national to international. Sometimes I don’t have a chance to listen through the full hour long show and just breeze through the first few minutes which covers small excerpts of whats going on around the globe. A few weeks ago I listened to in my opinion a special episode because it featured a speech done by Howard Zinn a celebrated man in the U.S history community. Though in pure honesty I had never heard of Proffesor Zinn I found something unique and very intriguing about his speech. He reminded me of what government really is, and the importance of being a citizen. I have to admit that my interest in politics has never been a big as it has recently with the election of soon to be President Barack Obama. In all its history making election let us hope he lives up to his promises, and accomplishes all his goals for the people.

I share with all the link to the video:

This sort of reminds me of history class when they spoke about the great depression when Franklin Roosevelt would host his radio broadcast speaking of various economic topics and other policies. I just hope that unlike Roosevelt our new president elect really does pushes us out of this current economic situation we are currently facing.
