Thom, I was just listening to your story about the gathering of elders in which you participated, and your conversation with Frank. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THIS GATHERING and your experiences there. Please consider discussing it on air or posting more information here at the blog.

We have so much to learn from indigenous people about how to leave properly with the earth.

A big echo for sandcat's comment! On other issues, I was thinking rooftop solar power would have two salutary effects. First, free fuel (sunlight) would free up $ to spend on other economic benefits and second, deleterious climate effects (global warming and health problems due to pollutants) would be reduced freeing up $ for other needs. Win-win except for the extractive industries.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:

"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."

—Mike Farrell, actor, political activist, and author of Just Call Me Mike and Of Mule and Man

From Cracking the Code:

"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."

—David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community and When Corporations Rule the World and board chair of YES! magazine

From Screwed:

"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."

—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
