I know most of you probably don't even know who he was, but it's pretty sad that he's dead. He definitely contributed a lot to this country during his life.

And my, I seem to be posting a lot of death threads lately.

OH MY GOSH I thought you said "Hans Zimmer" at first and I almost flipped out.

uh...sad that his guy died instead, though.

 

[Vossler]

I have actually heard of him, never read his books, maybe now I will have a reason.

 

[Ventus Air-Man]

I haven't either. Now, I'll probably look for his books at my local library or something.

I've been reading a lot about deaths, and this is not exceptionally sad.
R.I.P Howard Zinn.

Poor guy, if you knew about his death then he probally ment something to you.
And you know what?I bet it won't be as known as when Michel Jorden died.

You mean Michael JACKSON, right ?

And Michael Jackson's death overshadowed a lot of deaths, like Billy Mays

I go to Boston University, so I keep hearing about this. :< I had to read one of his books for AP history a few years ago, but other than that, I don't know much about him.
