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.
At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
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 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."
Money rules in America.. Money can get the voters to do whatever the big money interests want.. And they want nuclear power because its profitable for them (but the worst of all possible choices for people)..
Most of the uninformed public won't even care! Money talks, so it will continue.
I really think enough people will be against it that Nuclear power will not be the force it might have been. I'm sure more plants will be built, but I suspect mostly in China, or other places where the people have no say.
I think we're getting the message. One problem we face is the corporate media and the tendency for Americans to be swayed by that media. If Media rules the day, Nuclear will see another day. If there are enough of "us" keeping the message of concern going, we have a chance to end it now.
The Darlington nuclear power plant in Ontario cost $14 billion which is 7X initial estimates to build.I realize that Toronto has the worst air quality in the nation due to coal fired plants but wind is the way to go.There has been much misinformation about wind turbines and much NIMBYism, but the acid rain from coal plants knows no bounds.
Big money controls the media, so we will have more nuclear (because big business wants it).. And yeah, they cost a "LOT" to build (this is where it is profitable for big business.. typically with tax money subssidies which transferes our tax money to private business)..
