Thank or apologize? I find it interesting that in ASL, the signs for "please" and "sorry" are very similar. They both involve rubbing your hand over your heart or chest, but one uses an open hand with fingers spread (5 hand) and the other a fist (A hand).

In addition to Matthew 25:32, to support Thom's argument about nations caring for the poor, I offer Matthew 11:20-24, wherein Jesus admonishes whole cities (for what, he doesn't say).
The Greek word for nation is "ethnos", whence we get the term "ethnic", but I can't confirm that that was the word used by St. Matthew.

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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Happy anniversary, Thom & Louise.
To all the veterans, I say, "Sorry you had to go. Glad you could come back."
