Release #43 - Lead Years High

Going to high school in the year 76-77, during Italy's Lead Years, was certainly very different from today. It was the desperate end of a decade in which young people tried to wrestle control of society and the direction of progress from the greedy overlords of today. After those years, the US elected an actor as president, and the biggest scam ever perpetrated on working and middle classes was deployed like a well rehearsed theatre play, engineered by an array of right wing think tank that had been hastily assembled to counter the strong drive towards a more equitable society.
