OpEdNews.Com Site Map Progressive Radio Links, Times, Live, Archives ThomHartmann.com One of our favorite OpEd writers, Thom Hartmann is the author of several books on economics, politics, spirituality, mysticism, ecology, and culture. The main theme of his writing is that global transformation begins with personal and societal transformation -- as we change ourselves, we change the world. So many people struggle to find meaning in this era of uncertainty, consumerism, ecological crisis, and spiritual challenge, and by changing our "stories" about how things are or must be, we change ourselves, our society, and the world. Thom's most recent book is Unequal Protection: The Rise of Corporate Dominance and the Theft of Human Rights.

President
Bush has already revealed his political motivations in such
things as his rejection of the Kyoto Treaty, his seeking
exemption for the American Military from the jurisdiction of the
newly-created International Criminal Court, his refusal to
personally attend the World Summit in Johannesburg, and his blackmailing
of the UN Assembly.
Can we really have
confidence in this sort of person to act in the best interests of the
