"Whites Only".........................
Thank you for raising the question of societies that value predatory function vs. the cooperative model.
Brilliant Rebuttal.

The Chalice and The Blade..
- I urge Listeners to read Thom's books
and to check out Riane Eisler's book,
The Chalice and The Blade.
On the young man from Towson State on the white race; What he does not see is that what is oppressing him is what has been used succesfully against people of color, divide and conquer. Income inequality is a major part of divided and conquer and knows really no bounds, race, creed, gender etc. although cases can be made within thst discussion, income ineqaulity that can prove discrimination, I am pointing towards the overall or macro if you will effect. The 1% are that tiny tiny number, 9.9 out of 10 of us are not in that group and that number gets tossed around so much, I feel that many do not pause and actually see that as THE problem. Yes, whites are having problems, but not from any color groups looking to out them into chains, that is more a function of guilty conscience imho, the reality of their situation traces to that tiny .1, 1%. That small group will play one off against another, I feel this is at the heart of the energy that drove the creation of the Tea Party; whites can clearly now see the same tidal wave approaching them that has consumed people of color and are trying to head that off but they mistake the source of that wave. It is NOT from people of color. The progression, success of people of color is patterend off of the template of whites, is it not ? Education, religion etc., so there will be a degree to where those who had less now have more and this young man sees that, imho, as the threat when that threat IS the 1%, pulling the strings willing to sacrifice a few million here and there, of any color, of any creed or gender to protect and further their 1% intertests; Again, it is time to take that number, 1%, not as a semantic thing but as the reality and the source of many of our problems.

Business owned schools
also get to (more or less) control curriculum and course content.......
-- history of human rights and labor rights....?
-- environmental studies?
-- global warming...?
Will schools just be training camps for the next wave of obedient and brain-washed "perfect" employees for the corporate consortium?

Time for T.H.U.
It IS time for the official opening of Thom Hartmann University!

Hear, hear!!



Water Babies?
No one has ever really explained those fetal gills either, as far as I can tell......
