With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
In this country there is too much of it happened over there and it can not happen here.
How many people have no problem consuming gulf coast sea food today? Even better, how about within three months of the BP deepwater horizon catastrophe that killed almost a dozen people on the spot? A TMI in Japan isn't on the national radar let alone psyche.
The people may think it could never happen in the USA - however they should. A nuclear plant right here could have a problem in micro minute.
There are a few who think about eating Gulf seafood (I sure do). With all those BP commercials showing how everything is just honkey dory and safe, the people just dismiss the whole thing.
I changed jobs as a direct result of the Fukushima incident.
I was working for the company that designed the Fukushima and other plants -- 50% of the nuclear plants in the U.S., well before I ever worked there. I worked in an office that had primary responsibility for putting scrubbers on smokestacks of other power plants, so I could rationalize being there to a degree.
But once Fukushima happened, I fully realized the impact nuclear power could have. Most people don't. And all the conversations I have had since then (I moved to a company that primarily now builds solar power plants, and I put solar panels on my house rooftop) have indicated to me that not enough people have really given this much thought -- if any at all!
I get in my opinion and many facts whenever I can to get people to think, but our corrupt government (thank you Ronald Reagan for taking down Jimmy's solar panels, you idiot) and the industries that control it have masked realities so much that most people are oblivious.
The Eisners and Murdochs of the world now control the media, and also the thoughts of people. These are the people that decide elections--cause hate against Muslims and other religious faiths (remember,they are all jewish!) Sway people against certain people they dont care for or that dont do their bidding. They profit from war and misery. They are heavily invested in General Electrics nuclear industries as well as the war machines so you know they will convince people to support nuclear power!!!
