We often forget what the American laborer was up against; the low wages, dangerous working conditions and insanely long working ours. Things got better, but I think a lot of people forgot how the average working person got those victories, and with that, with the willful ignorance of our history and turning our back on those who fought for us I fear we will slide back into those days, we are already on our way. An excellent book of fiction, but it's truth, a truth that really pisses me off.
