Are Peaceful Societies Normal?

John Horgan, Center for Science Writings joins Thom Hartmann. War - what is it good for? The song will tell you "absolutely nothing" - and new research suggests it doesn't have to be part of human nature at all. Modern history will teach you that war is an inevitable part of American culture - after all - we've been involved in over a dozen wars or conflicts over the last century. But is modern history the exception - and not the rule? Could it be that the true nature of humans is to be peaceful?

The Banksters got Bailed out - now it's time for Students!

Congressman Hansen Clarke (D-MI, 13th District) joins Thom Hartmann. Students go to college to get the education needed for a long and prosperous career. The only problem is - the jobs aren't there. How are young college grads suffering from coast to coast - and what is one Member of Congress doing to give them some much needed help? Four years ago the banks got bailed out - now it's time for America's students to get the help they need.

Why Gen Y has Minimum Rage

All across the nation - a new generation of young Americans are graduating from college - armed with degrees and ready to start a career. Unfortunately - in an economy scant on job prospects - they're having a very difficult time. Rather than finding a slot on a career track - many are stuck in dead-end jobs with no benefits - no healthcare - no retirement contributions - and up to their eyeballs in student loan debt. Every one of us knows someone who fits this description. And since Paul Ryan's budget proposal released today cuts student loan assistance and federal health insurance programs - then there's no relief in sight for Millennials just trying to find their footing in this unfavorable economy. For more on the plight of young college graduates - Thom is joined by Nona Willis Aronowitz - Associate Editor at "Good" magazine & Co-Author of the book: Girldrive.

Only Big Government can Save the American Dream

Will we choose the future in which a middle class can thrive again in America like it did for 50 years after the New Deal until Ronald Reagan blew everything up? If you want the American Dream back - go to college without debt, have a good job and reliable healthcare, live knowing that an accident or illness won't wipe you out - then work to kick these radical, reactionary Republicans out of government!

Everything U Know is Wrong - Pink Slime for lunch?

Sarah Seltzer, Alternet joins Thom Hartmann. Each day - millions of parents across America look to school cafeterias to feed their kids safe and good food so they'll have the energy they need to do great in school. From fruits and vegetables to proteins and dairy - it is expected that our nation's school cafeterias are serving the best in healthy and safe meals to our children. However - there's a frightening and disgusting new type of "meat" taking over our children's lunches. So - if you think that the meat used on Taco Day is safe and good for your child - than everything you know about cafeteria food is wrong!

Copyright Alert System-could you end up in jail?

David Seltzer, Attorney & Mark Bledsoe join Thom Hartmann. The largest online protest in the history of the Internet may have derailed radical anti-piracy legislation SOPA and PIPA earlier this year - but major entertainment corporations like the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America are still coming after you. With the help of Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T - tabs are being kept right now on people who are sharing copyrighted material online. And on July 12th, Internet providers will begin putting in place a new anti-piracy plan - warning internet users that they could face penalties of up to $150000 if they continue to file-share. Providers will begin cutting down - or eliminating altogether - bandwidth for so-called offenders - until said offender agrees to take an education course on piracy. Providers may also restrict access to only major websites like Google and Facebook. And most disturbingly - providers may share your information with other Internet providers to effectively create a blacklist of people who won't be allowed to sign online. So is this the corporate lock-down of the Internet we've all feared?
