With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
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 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:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
guns, guns, guns,...nothing but more and more fucking guns
As a graduate of the Georgia Police Academy you must have been asleep during "how to hold your pistol" chapter.
If you shoot a semi automatic pistol with the grip you are using in the photo, you will take your thumb off.
Thom, NRA Gun nuts don't understand that Liberals own firearms and shoot too. We just don't make a fetish of it.
Anyone who lives in rural America knows that firearms are not viewed any different than an ax or a chainsaw. We moved to our cabin North of Bay City Saganaw, where many laided off autoworkers moved, when they lost their work. For the rural poor, vegetable gardens, keeping chickens and rabbits and hunting and fishing are what often keeps families from going hungry. Many urban peoples' only exposure to firearms is the evening news, the latest urban violence. But the rural experience is totally different.
You need to get training. You are exhibiting the fact you know nothing about firearms a fact you make abundantly clear each and every time you open your mouth while on the air. You would do well to pull this picture as it makes you look stupid.
