Images of Thom
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 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:
"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 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."
How are stand your ground laws materially different than vigilantism?
Yes Holder should do something but I doubt he will . Holder appears weak on upholding the law. . This law is dangerous in our gun happy violent socierty After killing a person any Shooter can say 'he ' felt ' threatened since the other person is dead and can not refute his story ! This is a Typical NRA Right wing law .
Both answers are yes, this has to come to a screeching halt before another maniac kills someone - just because he can claim self defense.
Many of the people I know that support the law are self described Christians. I ask them what they think Jesus meant when he said "turn the other cheek". I don't try to get into the nonviolent statement against Roman law that Thom has described. Too abstract for them in too many cases.
I would answer yes to both statements if allowed to do so.
