Adele, fascinating partial history of your early life. Ah, yes the Albarelli book - I forgot. I'll look for it when it is out! By the way, did you get my email recently, or did it get hidden in the 'spam' box?
We absolutely seem to agree on both the history of fascism in America and its current reign supreme [almost]. I and my family have been fighting its rise all of our lives. The Occupy Movement and what it may spin off or become is, in my mind, a last hope. Do see the interviews in the video here. [A Conversation with Lawrence Lessig and Chris Hedges] Hedges especially would have made Zinn proud.
NB - almost the entire book by Gross Friendly Fascism is on Google Books. I re-read much of it and while a few parts don't apply as well today as they did when written, much of it still is insightful analysis and an 'early call' of the coming danger.
