Post by sober scientist life: "Did you know John Steinbeck's depression-era classic 'The Grapes of Wrath' is among the 'Top 100 books banned' in America? I can see why: "Here's a short passage from Chapter 25: 'There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our successes. The fertle Earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And the children dying of (hunger) must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificates - died of malnutrition - because the food must rot (if not sold at a profit). "...and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage."

Nochem ben Shlomo
For those who want the condensed version, listen to Woody Guthrie's brilliant song, Tom Joad.

Ending with "Wherever little children are hungry and cry,
Wherever people ain't free.
Wherever men are fightin' for their rights,
That's where I'm a-gonna be, Ma.
That's where I'm a-gonna be."
