I stood across the street from the Wobbly hall and I watched the whole damn thing happen [the Centralia massacre]. And something cold and hard and sick began forming in me, from that day on, about this country.

The Party came first. Always. And because *did* come first we often forgot how poor we were. That was another thing I used to think about a lot. Imagine being as poor as we were, and *not* having the Party. Imagine being that poor with *nothing* to explain your poverty to you, nothing to give it some meaning, to help you get through the days and years because you could believe it wouldn't always be this way.
