Thom talked about getting nightmares reading "1984". Worse than that is listening to Mike Malloy read from "1984" for several nights before bed until I realized that this was extremely counterproductive to restful sleep. Malloy's hypnotic inflection of Orwell's words totally creeped me out.

If DNA info becomes available to big corporations, why can't I reserve, based on the rights of a copyright owner. If these corporations had this much valuable information, they would charge me to sift through for my personal interests. I reserve the right to do the same. Especially if my DNA is used to design medicines that I will be charged to use from a for-profit health care system.
When I had my first child the nurse told another nurse to prepare my placenta and make sure it was properly stored. A conversation with the nurse revealed to me realize that the hospital was selling my placenta to a pharmaceutical company. I said that I wanted my bill credited for that sale. Which of course the nurse scoffed and said I had no need of it so therefore I was not entitled to payment. Then she left.
Anyway, my dad who is a retired Fed judge said that by that reasoning, that if I were an airplane pilot and owned my own plane and then went blind, I should be forced to sell if for free because I have no use for it.
If corporations are people then why is a person's personal stats and all that can be learned for them free game.?

Ron Rutherford -- What is it you are trying to say? Your point is unclear.

Thom,
You keep saying "Cesar Chavez," but I think you mean "Hugo." And he's more "socialist" and "populist" than "terrorist." He's using Venezuela's oil revenues to help the people.

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 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 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."
Since the Republicans control the fraudulent voting machines, the Democrats will be slaughtered in 2010 and 2012. Whoever controls our rigged voting machines controls our nation's destiny.
