From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
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."
Can you trust anything that comes out of the Repuglican Party?
I think that, to some degree, legalization or at least decriminalizing is likely. The trend is mostly populist with the Democrats, as usual, leading from behind. I think the GOP see this as an eventual possibility and some, while still hedging their bets, are generally onboard. Of course, many if not most aren't and never will be. I think the legalization or decriminalization will take place becuase the public, frankly, refuses to support the "criminality" of it the same way the public refused to support the criminality of booze during Prohibition. If the public refuses to support a law or cause, it will, at some point, have to be changed. Frankly, I wish they'd hurry up!
