Melanocomously ugly? "Melanocomous" means "having black hair". That doesn't seem nice.

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 Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
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."
On the Contrary!
--- such nuanced conversations make great Radio! Call John back and continue that conversation or enter into a new subject zone.
There is Much Discussion Needed to Foment A Renaissance.
To Defeat the Dream Killers is not enough.
We must simultaneously bridge to the new world of Cooperative Creativity.
You have a foot in both worlds.
You can be that bridge and help redirect this conversation (as the road begins to turn) and we begin to win.
We will Win -- if winning means that we will evolve politically/spiritually/mentally/emotionally/socially -- we will win.
If we will not, then we have nothing to lose by believing that we will (thereby Keeping the Dream Alive as a seed).
If we will win, then that win can only be strengthened and eased (whether using a sports analogy, or a referring to cosmic mechanical fact) by Believing In, and Preparing For, that Victory -----
which will Transformation the Ways
by which we interact as individuals,
as tribes,
as nations,
as federations of nations
and as a species with other species.
Thanks Always for Great Radio.
