From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
Thom, the real issue on the fertilized eggs issue is that most cultures - including our own - consider a woman's body to be community property. One of the most brilliant commentaries on this is from Carol J. Adams, who points out the similarities in the way we treat human females & other female animals we use for food. She points out that we sexualize violence against women & anaimals, & insert ourselves into the reproductive functions of both.
