From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
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."
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.
