Studs Terkel 1912-2008

Getting the chance today...look up some video on Studs Terkel.

Read a few pages about him.

Buy one of his books.

Or just in the spirit of Studs...open an arguement with someone...talk to everyone you see.  Write a letter to a politician...move some ideas from your head to the outside world.  Become an activist for one day!

I'll leave you a couple of quotes to get you started.

"We use the word 'hope' perhaps more often than any other word in the vocabulary: 'I hope it's a nice day.' 'Hopefully, you're doing well.' 'So how are things going along? Pretty good. Going to be good tomorrow? Hope so.' "

"We are the most powerful nation in the world, but we're not the only nation in the world. We are not the only people in the world. We are an important people, the wealthiest, the most powerful and, to a great extent, generous. But we are part of the world. "

Rest in peace Studs.
