“To the extent that we consume, in our present circumstances, we are guilty. To the extent that we guilty consumers are conservationists, we are absurd. But what can we do? Must we go on writing letters to politicians and donating to conservation organizations until the majority of our fellow citizens agree with us? Or can we do something directly to solve our share of the problem? I am a conservationist. I believe wholeheartedly in putting pressure on the politicians and in maintaining the conservation organizations.” WritingBelieveProblemI BelieveShareGoes OnCitizensPoliticianCircumstancesLettersOrganizationPressureAgreeFellowsMajoritySolveAbsurdGuiltyConsumersConsumerismConservationMaintainingOverconsumptionWholeheartedly Author:Wendell Berry

“I have no question that the Roman Catholic Church teaches that abortion in virtually all circumstances is wrong. I think the church's position at all times in modern history has been that it is unequivocally opposed to abortion.But that's not the question for a Catholic who is a public official. I happen to subscribe to the church's position as a person. Still the question, as Governor Mario Cuomo suggested, is: what is your obligation as a civic leader? I agree entirely with John F. Kennedy. I answer only to my conscience in my public life and that's that.” ThinkingChurchLeaderTeachModernCircumstancesConscienceCatholicAgreeObligationAll TimeAbortionRoman Catholic Author:Bruce Babbitt
“People standing up and saying, 'This isn't right,' is certainly a quality I admire in specific circumstances. There are people who do that and have a different set of politics, and then I don't necessarily agree with what they're doing and why they're doing it. But the act in and of itself of saying something is wrong and standing up for what they think is right is something I generally admire.” PeopleThinkingDifferentQualityCircumstancesAgreeAdmire Author:Rory Kennedy
