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 Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
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."
please consider offering more than two choices in your "polls;" you leave no room for subleties or other possible explanations for an opinion than, say, big pharma's opposition to an outcome. such reductionist, sound bite takes on reality are the tools of the right, not suitable for social thinkers.
I can only imagine that in short time cannabis prohibition will be completely lifted on a global scale. This prohibition was created by a handful of wealthy investors who wanted to remove the only obstacle to their oil and wood pulp monopolies that they owned and wanted to milk for all they are worth. The public were taken advantage of during a time of great vulnerability to go along with this plan. Now after many decades, not only is the truth being made public and common knowledge, the impact of the subterfuge is also being made known. There is no turning back now. The truth has caught up to the deceivers and this genie is never going to be stuffed back into his bottle.
I certainly hope so. If booze and cigarettes can be legal, then why not pot? Simply make the same age requirements as for booze and cigarettes; package it like cigarettes and tax it at the same rate as booze. The revenue can go for serious drug treatment programs.
