With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
There's plenty of room for internet entrepreurs yet, and may be 1 way of the future.
The right has a way of shooting itself in the foot ...take money out of the hands of the middle class or leave too many in poverty and no one will be shopping. Sooner or later they will hit a downturn that will force even the republicans to act for the people. Since they have not learned from our history...they will likely be forced to repeat it.
On a side note: In support of higher taxes for the wealthy: I believe it was Socates, when asked why he did not leave the country/accept banishment when sentenced to death, who said one owes something to the country that clothes him/her, fed him/her, educated him/her and basically gave him/her opportunity.
They better hurry. The environment is failing and tar sands are on the way.
The right-wing in this country is abominable. Their support of the 1% against the 99% is atrocious. They must be defeated.
Successful entrepreneurialism more often than not dislocates wealth associated with an obsolete, competing, or similar good or service. And keeping the wealth in its present hands is what our current “democracy” of special interests is all about. Consequently American “ingenuity” is in reality mostly a thing of the past or restricted to the hands of existing Oligarchs – who will squelch the innovations true potential to conform with existing investment (or othewise profit concerns) in the alternative. Entrepreneurialism has pretty much gone the way of the American Dream - of which it was a part - and the Country is suffering because of it. Thanks for nothing 1%.
