Sophia, here's an article from Dissent critical of Zinn: [link]
And bookwise, Bob says Paul Johnson's A History of the American People is a direct response to Zinn that is supposed to be good.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Deregulation has been good in many cases such as the airlines, and telecommunications. Personally, I think deregulation of energy markets would probably be good if handled properly.
How so (for both a & b)? Deregulation seems to me to have been a hot mess almost everywhere.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It turns out I have the best name ever.
Huh. My name sucks, all because of that MySpace guy....
The man who created what will become the destroyer of the earth, better known as the addictive website MySpace. He is blamed by literally millions of people whenever an "unexpected error" occurs. Once enough (important) people become addicted to this site, society will become perpetually late and collapse in a horrendous, fiery explosion of death, destruction, and doom.

My dad would argue that deregulation ruined airlines.

Flying did become much cheaper after deregulation. (That's about all I know on the subject.)

I think there has been more economic volatility in the airline industry, but deregulation led to much lower prices, removed barriers to new airlines, and had no negative effect on safety (though the government is certainly still involved in airline safety).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I dunno, mine seems pretty awesome too:
a woman i know who is incredibly sexy and i love her so much. she is the most amazing person alive and if you dont think so you deserve to die. amazingly there are some people who actually dont like her. but thats just because they're jealous and they're all asses anyway so no one cares about them. jessica deserves everything in the world and id do anything for her. ill never leave her side and i'll always be her best friend.
Me - Dude, I love Jessica.
Friend - Me too. Who doesn't?
Me - Stupid fuckers that's who.
Either that, or I have a stalker. Hmmm.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm not even bothering to look up "Tom".
