“All the goodness and the heroisms will rise up again, then be cut down again and rise up. It isn’t that the evil thing wins — it never will — but that it doesn’t die.”
The Grapes of Wrath ought to be required reading by the time you are an adult but not before your thirty. Read the book first then see the John Ford epic. The plight of the "Oakies" whether you know them as migrant workers, guest workers, or even illegal aliens will become all too obvious. They deserve to be heard and treated with all the kindness we can afford. We are all in this thing called "Life" together. Lighten up on the criticism and dogma, instead figure out ways to make their labor a bit less hellish.
