I could say a lot about suicidal thoughts. I've never been depressed, but I've considered suicide continuously since at least puberty, and I agree with the caller that it's hard to imagine that one will actually be dead after suicide. It's very difficult to consider the aftermath without imagining that you will be able to benefit from the new attitude toward you that your death would bring about.

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:
"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."
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."
Massachusetts would not have had to remove theocratic provisions from its constitution before being admitted to the union, because the First Amendment was not in the U.S. Constitution yet.
