IT's very interesting to compare this to the labor struggles of the early 20th. I think most folks forget that there was a time in this country where workers were routinely charged merely for organizing on their own behalf! Have any good reads on those labor struggles you could suggest, Dave?

I would not at all be surprised if I was told that a time or two loud farts were blamed on communist provocateurs. I don't have any titles on each of these historical incidents to suggest off-hand. I'd have to admit that probably the bulk of my historical knowledge stems from documentaries (lots of PBS over the years, some cable when I had cable) and various articles, interviews, and essays that pop up much like the stuff you write. I can recommend Green is the New Red by Will Potter, but I'm sure you're well steeped in it...even if you haven't read it yet.
