A friend of mine reminded me that today marks the 87th anniversary of the execution/murder of Nicola Sacco (April 22, 1891 – August 23, 1927) and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (June 11, 1888 – August 23, 1927).
THIS is a decent enough read. Today we don't have quite the appalling working conditions of that time but we never the less have a huge disparity between the wealthy and the poor. Percentage wise much worse and burdened even more by inflation. I think that in today's climate there would be many cheering an execution such as that was, cheered by the very people who would benefit the most from some kind of reform. Most people don't know what's good for them. Below is a pretty interesting little thingy-ma-jig, not sure what to call it...

Nobody tells the story better than Mr. Woody Guthrie...
