At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
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:
"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."
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 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."
Think of what you are saying. Since a consequence of protesting police violence may be the heightened chance of acts of violence being committed against police, then People shouldn’t protest police violence.
I know part of you talking heads jobs is to help the Democrats keep the People in line, but I’m not sure such thinking as you indicated above would make for good social engineering. The killer committed the murders in response to the deaths of Eric and Michael, not because of the protests.
Violence begets violence. Protests are in response to violence. My condolences to the families of the two police officers who were slain.
It's odd that neither of the slain police officers were white. Might they just be an attemt to stir the pot of unrest even further than it has been of late?
No, people shouldn't stop protesting because of the two cops having been shot. However, they should be aware of this and show a little sensitivty towards the police. They are obviously---and rightly so---going to be on edge.
I agree with Ms. Necker in that neither police officer was white. Perhaps given the light and angle at which the shooter saw the two officers, they appeared white to him. Then again, he not have cared and just wanted to murder a couple of cops. Who knows what path logic takes through a twisted mind?
