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."
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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
Re guns, the issues are: a) We are in a violent nation that bombs 3rd world all the time. We have rogue cops that shoot innocent civilians (particularly shooting urban residents) how do we expect some teens to do better. We even have very violent movies, online games, etc. b) We have Big Pharma drugging teens, and causing side effects. We have created our own nightmare, and while children in Africa starve, and suffer in other parts of the world from our bombs and drones, our nations stay quiet.
