as I have known of the past, I am one of those constant readers and love reading U.S. History. I have managed to stay positive even knowing about the horror stories like, slavery, the removal of the Native Americans from the S.E., the West's treatment of Asian immigrant workers, etc.
Staying positive was possible, because until the Republcans camp to power with Nixon we were moving strongly in a more human direction.

I have found it hard to keep that positive belief, especially since the 80s and the awful impact of the economic war against the U.S. working and middle class, with that special focus on the phony Drug War, War on Crime, that wrecked so many lives with mass incarceration, while so obviously used to target only the poorest and minority populations.
