DESCRIPTION:As a school teacher, I am immensely grateful for the extensive labor Howard 
 Zinn pursued in creating a meaningful, reliable, and accessible alternative 
 approach to history from the one too often encountered that takes primary 
 notice of the well-to-do without closely examining the source of their 
 well-to-do-ness.\n\nHowever, Mr. Zinn himself engages in an intellectual 
 sleight-of-hand when all he devotes to the great issue of "equality of 
 access to land" is . . . nothing! Imagine it:  forty acres and a mule as a 
 concrete measure of land access--nothing. What to do about the crop-lien 
 system and share-cropping--nothing. The great transfer of location rent to 
 the mere owners of the earth--nothing.\n\nNo, sad to say, with respect to 
 the land question Zinn merely follows the complacent, submissive policy of 
 Progressives and and Liberals and Laborites (not to mention the silent 
 complicity of the extortion of land rents by so-called conservatives who 
 mask their defense of private property in the Earth behind blasphemous 
 pieties (God ordained private ownership of the Earth) or the resort to 
 momentum (it's always been that way (which it hasn't)) in avoiding the 
 uncomfortable question of land-and-liberty particulars.\n\nFor instance, 
 all Zinn allows Henry George, arguably the most articulate advocate of 
 specific public policy that would wrench control of this earth from an 
 elite, are three pages of heart-stopping description of the effects of 
 poverty. George unquestionably is affective in his depiction of poverty's 
 cankerous effect. But to read Zinn you'd never notice that George called 
 for a tax on land values equal to the potential rent a landlord would 
 charge you to use the location of his parcel. \n\nYou are welcome to join a 
 mentored discussion of The Land Question this Saturday morning, 9-10 am by 
 ZOOM.\n\nStop muttering, start articulating.\n
