From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
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 Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
It's a norm for food labels to list ingredients. It's not a norm to say how the ingredients were combined. To mandate a special label if and only if ingredients were combined using recombinant DNA -- but not if they were combined using conventional breeding, or using a blender, a mixer, or a percolator -- conveys an implicit message that there's something uniquely dangerous about this particular way of combining things. If there were actually a scientific consensus to that effect, I could support such labels. But there isn't. In fact a leading biologist like Richard Dawkins thinks this campaign is profoundly misguided, as conveyed in his "Open Letter to Prince Charles": http://greatbloke.blogspot.com/2007/03/open-letter-to-prince-charles-ric...
Anyone who thinks GMOs are dangerous anyway knows how to avoid them. But to mandate labels implying this amounts to government disinformation.
