“The affluent society has built well in terms of economic progress, but has neglected the protection of the very water we drink as well as the values of fish and wildlife, scenic, and outdoor recreation resources.

The rude, fierce settler who drives the savage from the land lays all civilized mankind under a debt to him. ...[I]t is of incalculable importance that America, Australia, and Siberia should pass out of the hands of their red, black, and yellow aboriginal owners, and become the heritage of the dominant world races.” WorldShouldWarHandsAmericaBlackRaceLandMankindTerribleRedImportanceLaysDebtAustraliaOwnersCivilizedHeritageYellowRighteousFierceSavagesDominantRudeInhumanAboriginalSettlersSiberia Author:Theodore Roosevelt

“Like all of Latin America, Mexico after independence in 1821 turned its back on a triple heritage: on the Spanish heritage, because we were newly liberated colonies, and on our Indian and black heritages, because we considered them backward and barbaric.
