With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
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."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
The Tea Party (which is just an anti-government corporate front) WANTS the government to shut down. They want chaos because it causes fear and drives up prices so they make more money - from gas and oil, gold, guns, you name it. They are driving a giant wedge between the upper class and everyone else and this is meant to hammer it in deeper.
I am so upset today. I can't help but feel overwhelmed by the radiation spilling into the sea and the news that 50 times more whales and dolphins may have been killed in the Gulf oil spill and the hydrofracking violations in PA. I can't beleive what these lunatics are doing to us and the planet. Like King Midas they are turning everything into gold for themselves. We are left with the poisoned scraps. We lived in a magical place with unbelievable beauty and diversity of life. Capitalists have destroyed it. It will take centuries to fix this. Let's agree to be the warriors that make them stop. To recycle the Greenpeace slogan, "No compromise in defense of Mother Earth and all life on it, including human life.
Didnt conservatives cause a govt shutdown with Clinton? Every time there is a DEM in the white house it seems CONS shut down the GOVT.. I think they do it bc they like chaos, and bc they feel they can somehow lay blame on DEMS..
I think Thom is right in saying that the Tea Party just might cause a government shutdown. From a common sense citizens point of view, the Republicans seem like a first born child that always wants its way. The Tea Party is the younger sibling that is throwing an all out fit just to draw its own attention away from their big brother. The democrats are unfortunately the middle sibling who has lost his voice. It's too bad and just like any dysfunctional family there is an intervention needed. Stand up and get active. -WJM
I know many of us have varying opinions about what is going on, particularly in our own government. However, I hope as a christian, that all of us try and do what is right during this time of turmoil and look to God for guidance because all authority comes from Him. As a citizen, we should take this as a learning experience and realize that we need to take the power that we have in the Constitution and use our rights to keep up with all of our representatives actions so that they realize that their positions are not absoulute and that we are the ones that can remove them from office.
