Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both
By Louise
The U.S. government has lowered the threshold for information deemed important enough to put suspicious individuals on a watch list or no-fly list, or have their visa revoked, as a result of the failed Christmas Day attack, senior State Department officials tell CNN. For example, citizens could be put on the no-fly list or a watch list based on one credible source, instead of the previous standard of using several sources. If this applies to US citizens - we're not sure yet if it does or doesn't - then if you don't like your neighbor, just make a quick call and report something suspicious! Somehow, this reminds me creepily of Stalin, the Shah, and Pinochet... As Ben Franklin said, "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

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 Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
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."
