"left wing parties and labor movements were far more widespread and mainstream *prior to (and during)* the great depression"
Eugene Debs: Socialist and Presidential Candidate
Debs ran in 1900,1904,1908,1912 and 1920, the last race from Atlanta Prison. The slogan on a campaign poster in 1920 read: From Atlanta Prison to the Whitehouse, 1920, and a popular campaign button showed Debs in prison garb, standing outside the prison gates, with the caption: For President Convict No. 9653, Debs received nearly one million votes that year!

As they say, "it has to get worse before it gets better!" Our own
Decl. of Indep. talks about how people will put up with much $%@&
before finally pushing back. Oil price is a good example. England
now pays something like $8 USD per gallon for petrol -- I'm still
only paying $2.50 for dinodiesel. Will US wake up at $6? Probly not.
15$ ?? Maybe. -K
