Hi Thom, FYI...humans are lots older than 165,000 years.

Oldest known human fossil found in Europe Piece of jawbone unearthed in Spain could be up to 1.3 million years old

Also, it is refreshing to see open-minded discussion of the Ica stones...does raise questions. BTW, I'm no fundimentalist Christian. http://livingdinos.com/2011/07/are-the-ica-stones-fake-skeptics-under-fire/

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.

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

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."
Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
Michael Toms, Founding President, New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network and author of A Time For Choices: Deep Dialogues for Deep Democracy
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."
Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While
