One other thing I would like to see a conversation on is, the power of passion. What I mean by this is, that the tea party was never full of a bunch of critical thinkers, no offence. And the same can be said about President Ronald Reagan's Reaganomics supporters that helped us get were we are today. This is not letting the Bankers off the hook, it is just trying to be honest so we can fix this mess. That said, they showed and used passion, and beyond the billions funneled to them to act, their passion is the other key part to the success of manipulating the agenda of our nation (whether you agree with them or not). We need that passion and we need not underestimate the power of passion.

Images of Thom
At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
This is exactly what we need to rebound. Ok this and a thousand other out of the box ideas. I find any tools that the people can use, with in reason, is a good idea. But this is nice because it uses the correct application of capitalism in check, or also known as healthy capitalism.
