from www.Patreon.com/JimTerr "Jim Terr occupies a unique place in citizen activism. In both his brilliant satire work, and his more serious essays and outreach, he has a peculiar gift for focusing on the people who need to be reached and who might be reached, instead of just “preaching to the converted.”           His is a unique and valuable gift of populism and simplicity, perhaps a result of his small-town upbringing. His work is wise, hard-hitting, unusually effective, and deserves the support of everyone who wishes for a more humane world. Especially in these particularly divisive times, Jim has a gift for bridging the “divide.”                     -- THOM HARTMANN , radio host and author Jim Terr's spirit shows through consistently in the essays, songs, and other projects he creates. It's the droll, sardonic, 'cut the B.S.' outlook that is known around the world as 'American.' His tone is especially valuable in an election year."                     -JAMES FALLOWS, national correspondent, Atlantic Monthly "In his letters and articles, Jim Terr makes too much sense. In any other country he would have long since been locked up."                    -JONATHAN ALTER,  journalist / author / producer I’ve known Jim for years, ever since he had me on his radio show in the charming little town of Las Vegas, NM. He’s a talented, caring guy with a great sense of humor and a good eye on what’s going on. We love publishing his selections of great articles in our “Editor’s Picks” feature. -Russ Baker, Editor in Chief, WhoWhatWhy, author and investigative journalist "The McCune Foundation has funded Jim Terr in seeral remarkably successful and useful educational video projects over the years, which have gained considerable national notice despite their low budgets" -Owen M. Lopez, Executive Director. I’m totally proud and honored to support Jim Terr.  His take on, expression of, and support for many good things is what our world needs today.  We’ve got plenty of cogs in wheels but not much  creative genius directed towards our society and its foibles.  Yay Jim! -Dr. Joseph Whiteman, Patreon supporter I consider it my civic duty, so am happy of course remain one of your patrons. You are fighting the good fight. And in the case of the money I send your way, I feel like I am helping you to fight it. -Robert Dorf, Patreon supporter

A few old Jim Terr commentaries.

MY FAITH by Jim Terr (Published in "Prime Time" seniors newspaper, March, 2000) To me, faith in God, belief in a higher power or intelligence, is not a matter of faith at all. Rather, it’s a matter of logic. It’s so obvious that virtually every aspect of the natural world (and I’m including in that the “spiritual” world) is so much more complex, so much more intricately designed than we will ever understand, that it seems obvious that humans and human consciousness are just a speck in a much vaster system. Even if you consider “evolution” to be the explanation for some of life’s intricacies, the natural processes utilized by evolution are so complex and wondrous as to similarly escape anything near full human comprehension.

"A day without an update or recommendation from Jim Terr is like a day without sunshine, a night without stars, a party without guests, a pond without frogs, a dog without fleas, a deer without ticks." -Gershon Siegel, publisher, Sun Monthly (Santa Fe)
