Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
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 Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
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: What most people don't know is that football IS getting safer. According to the National Federation of High Schools, there was a 40% drop in concussions in middle school and high school football players in 2015. The teaching of tackling has changed, and the punishments for targeting is changing the game for the better. As for safer games, soccer and rugby have much higher incidence of concussions than does football. Changing the rules is the way to go, not banning it. If one doesn't want to play a rough sport, then don't play it. Don't take away options for our young people.
