At Mondragon - both the mountain and the cooperative city - in Spain (written about in "Threshold" book)
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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
I would say both answers are right on this, but the problem is are people going to get out and vote, that seems to be a real problem umungst progressives, and democrats.
Before the potential voting population will mobilize to vote (or do anything) some major human organization involving WORK and RISK must be initiated...asap.
We've been spouting this for years but the necessary courage seems no where to be found.. or perhaps we are all too LAZY, scared, disorganized, bored, desperate, stupid etc..to get any momentum..ie.. (a reasonable # of people x at least a velocity of ideas).
Maybe there are populist type movements scattered across our country but where's the link(ing) to integrate them..ie..who in hell wants to or would like to be part of a movement and not fear being labeled an infidel?..I certainly would.
Rare birds like Thom Hartmann, Joe Pap, Bill Moyers, Bill Maher, Steven Colbert, Jon Stewart etc. are a luxury, but telling us the truth is a big enough responsability for them. We, as a country inhabited by the mediocre masses and run by mostly a poorly informed and selfish government, better get our asses, minds and bodies in gear pronto!
