Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
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:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
Cigarettes are poison to everyone the poor would be hurt more by harming their health.
As a non-smoker it is easier for me to say, but anything we can do to help peoples health we should. Anything we can do to discourge smoking is a benefit.
Taxes should be used to pay for medical care of tobacco related illnesses.
Mellow guy....I second it! I'm a former smoker and do understand nicotine addiction. If it weren't for the invention of Nicorettes, I would probably still be smoking, going broke in the process, and carrying an oxygen tank wherever I go. Considering the price of cigarettes now, price does not seem to be a deterrent to these young people. However, I am opposed to putting a 95-cent per pack tax on cigarettes to pay for Obama's pre-K program particularly when Head Start is on the block all over this country. The youngsters in my neighborhood take advantage of Head Start Program and I cannot say enough for that program and how it energizes the youths to learn.
This John Birch Society all the way...
The rich don't want to pay to educate the 99% children. So if you want to educate the poor peoples' children you have to devise a way for the poor people - only - to pay for it,....a regressive tax.
