At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
This is the same BS they used to defeat the ERA back in the 1970's. Guess cons hate to lose a scare tactic.
This is a huge mistake for the left. Eighty years ago Margaret Mead demonstrated that, cross-culturally, personality traits are not linked to sex (gender). Sure, poor Bradley Manning was taught by the Army that "real men" are bloodthirsty serial killers. But that is pure bull. Gandhi, Russell, MLK and the Berrigan Brothers are/were all "real men". Transsexuals mutilate their bodies and give up any chance for orgasms to conform with the sexual "norms" of a very sick society.

Both right answers actually,those are the only things they can win with, and fear mongering.
