This insider-outsider stuff is great to hear. I think I've been an outsider in every organization I've been in, including school, friends and family.

Jeff in Denver is right about fuel efficiency. My old car, a 1994 model, got 42 mpg originally, and degraded to 34 mpg by the time I got rid of it last year. My new car, a 2003 model, gets 29 mpg at best. I think electric features and headlights that won't turn off may be responsible for much of the decline; we make cars do a lot more than drive now.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:

"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."

—Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce

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."

—Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall

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
