“In spite of the frightful pogroms which took place, first in Poland and then in unprecedented fashion in the Ukraine, and which cost the lives of thousands of Jews, the Jewish people considered the post-war period as a messianic era. Israel, during those years, 1919-1920, rejoiced in Eastern and Southern Europe, in Northern and Southern Africa, and above all in America.” PeopleYearsFirstsWarAmericaFashionPeriodsCostEuropeJewIsraelErasPostsSpiteSouthernEasternUkraineUnprecedentedPolandPost WarSouthern Africa Author:Denis Fahey
“The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine.” IfsHumansMayLongSufferingSocialHuman BeingsLevelsBreakAchieveProductsPeriodsCostLowsMachinesMerePainfulPassingPassingsPsychologicalOrganismsTechnologicalBreaking DownReducingAdjustmentPassing ThroughLiving OrganismsCogsLow Level Book:The Unabomber Manifesto: Industrial Society and Its Future Source: The Unabomber Manifesto: Industrial Society and Its Future
“Thus a new way of finding fluidity will inevitably be imposed on management and labor alike.

“It is time to acknowledge the extraordinary sacrifice of all of our veterans. While many Massachusetts soldiers served our nation in a period technically dubbed 'peacetime,' they restored American pride in the wake of Vietnam and helped bring a successful end to the Cold War. The service of these men and women was not without cost. There are countless stories of soldiers who served with great distinction only to be denied veteran status after returning home. Every man and woman who volunteered to serve this country should be treated with the same degree of respect, gratitude and dignity.” MenShouldWarEndsCountryStoriesHomeNationsSuccessfulSacrificePrideColdPeriodsGratitudeCostDegreesMen And WomenDignityExtraordinarySoldierEvery ManTreatedAcknowledgeDistinctionVietnamDeniedCold WarVeteranMassachusettsOur VeteransReturning Home Author:Mitt Romney
“The most straightforward path would be if we could bring the cost of solar electric and wind down by another factor of say, three, and then have some miraculous storage solution, so that not only over the 24-hour day but over long periods of time where the wind doesn't blow, you have reliable energy. That's a path. But energy storage is hard. That's not a guaranteed path.” IfsLongHardWould BeThreeEnergyHoursPathWindPeriodsCostSolutionsBlowFactorsElectricMiraculousStraightforwardStorageLong Periods Of Time Author:Bill Gates
