I guess we should change "The pen is mightier than the sword," to
"The camera is mightier than the gun."

I'd like to correct the caller at the bottom of the 3rd hour, that it's not the Denver school system that's being dumbed down, it's Jefferson County to the west, and Douglas County a little ways to the south of Denver.

Denver is too Democratic to let this sort of thing happen. Douglas is heavily Republican, and Jefferson is fairly mixed, which is why there's more uproar in JeffCo, even though Douglas is further along in the destruction of its public education system. I think at least one of the pro-privatization board members in Douglas was replaced last year in a regularly scheduled election, whereas JeffCo is working up to a recall.

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 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 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."

—Richard Trumka, President, AFL-CIO
