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."
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 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."
I'm hearing logically contraditory arguments about the transgender bathroom issue:
1) It's terribly distressing for a trangendered person to use a bathroom or locker room designated for people with the same type of genitals that the transgendered person currently has.
2) If a transgendered person uses a bathroom or locker room designated for people with genitals different from what the transgendered person currently has, the other people in that room are supposed to have no care whatsoever.
These rooms are not designated according to what type of genitals people want or don't want to see, it's according to what they have, but until now, we've simply referred to those by the words "male" and "female", which no longer works.
I would say, how about instead of naming the rooms by gender, we name them by anatomy? If you have a penis, use the room for people with penises. If you have a vagina, use the room for people with vaginas. Once you get a sex-change operation, start using the other type of room.
