Is the theory of evolution a fact? This is the wrong question. A theory, in the scientific sense, connects facts (observations) together to make a larger meaning. The right question is: 'how well does a theory explain all the known facts about an area of the universe's functioning.' From cosmology to quantum theory to mankind's works somewhere in the middle we look for theories to explain the 'facts'. To borrow from Archimedes with apologies, give me a good theory and I will move the earth.

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."
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."
