From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
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:
"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."
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!
