Re: Community policing and undercover police
Story- when I was in college a hundred years ago, there were student members of the campus police. A small group of us were, shall we say, being rowdy, and the campus police showed up. One of them was a student I knew. I looked at her, she looked at me, and I said, "OK, we'll be quiet now." The "real" officer looked at her in awe.
It didn't hurt that I was madly in love with her....
Undercover cops- I think it's a lot like journalists. If a journalist is there to observe and report on a story, that's fine. If they participate, become part of the story, not so fine. If there is a large public gathering and a plainclothes cop is there in the crowd, I don't see that as an issue. If he is holding a sign, pretending to be for or against what's going on, or incites any action, that is way over the line.

OMG. Thoughts are not energy, they are a biochemical process. Autistic people are not telepathic; no one is. This sounds like a reformulation of "indigo children". The kid's mantra use sounds like a decent technique obviously, though a bit Bokononist.

From Screwed:

"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."

—Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places

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."

—David Korten, author of Agenda for a New Economy, The Great Turning, and When Corporations Rule the World

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."

—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
