From what I know, police are not supposed to shoot in a one-on-one situation until the other person gets within 21 feet--7 yards or approximately 4 body lengths. If Brown was killed at over 50 yards--7 times that distance--then logically either Wilson was not following procedure, or it wasn't a one-on-one situation, or he shot because Brown was committing violence against someone else. It must have been a one-on-one because Brown is the only person Wilson fired on. By Wilson's own testimony, the worst Brown was doing when Wilson showed up was jay-walking, hardly a violent crime. Therefore, Wilson didn't follow procedure.

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
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 Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
David Eddings also gave the "million words" advice, in the form "Write a million words. Now burn them." He said his first novel was so bad even he couldn't read it. But he was eventually a #1 best-selling author.
