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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
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."
Can you trust anything that comes out of the Repuglican Party?
I think that, to some degree, legalization or at least decriminalizing is likely. The trend is mostly populist with the Democrats, as usual, leading from behind. I think the GOP see this as an eventual possibility and some, while still hedging their bets, are generally onboard. Of course, many if not most aren't and never will be. I think the legalization or decriminalization will take place becuase the public, frankly, refuses to support the "criminality" of it the same way the public refused to support the criminality of booze during Prohibition. If the public refuses to support a law or cause, it will, at some point, have to be changed. Frankly, I wish they'd hurry up!
