From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
Republican men don't seem to understand that rape doesn't consist of a woman saying no after the fact. It involves violence and usually betrayal of trust. It leaves psychological and physical damage. It's a crime and the rapist is responsible for it, not the victim. How someone like Richard Mourdock can blithely say it's god's will and god's gift if such a horrible thing results in pregnancy (which itself is not easy to deal with) is beyond my comprehension.
