“As our planet takes action to cast out its manmade poisons and heal its man-caused wounds, many human inhabitants will no doubt give way to fear. Many will cling to seemingly powerful we're-God's-chosen-people religions, hoping that by so doing they will be saved from the wrath of a Vengeful God (not recognizing that the approaching "vengeance" will in reality be man's own actions coming back at him - and not recognizing that the Infinite Universal Power is far more than the narrow-minded gatekeeper of an exclusive Spiritual Country Club).” PeopleMenWayGivingHumansCountryRealityActionEarthSpiritualPowerfulDoubtPlanetsUniversalInfiniteCastsClubsWoundsSavedHealChosenPoisonNo DoubtRecognizingVengeanceComing BackWrathExclusiveOur PlanetNarrow-mindedVengefulGatekeepersCountry Clubs Author:Benjamin Hoff

“In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. the excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wild life, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.” PeopleImportantCountryFactsRealityAnimalEnemyCreaturesValuableGenuineIgnorantFactorsExcellentProtestCivilizedHuntingOddsHuntersWild AnimalSportsmanExterminationHunting And FishingWild CreaturesWild Life Book:The Deer Family Source: The Deer Family
“The reality is that the founding fathers were land speculators. The fact was that you couldn't vote in this country if you did not own land, and that was basically you had to be a white man who owned land. Now how did they get that land? They basically had to steal it from someone, and that would be probably the Indians. And so most of the initial founding fathers were, while they may have had some really nice ideas about democracy, they had a lot of issues with people of color.

“Most people, I suspect, still have in their minds an image of America as the great land of college education, unique in the extent to which higher learning is offered to the population at large. That image used to correspond to reality. But these days young Americans are considerably less likely than young people in many other countries to graduate from college. In fact, we have a college graduation rate that's slightly below the average across all advanced economies.” PeopleMindStillsCountryFactsRealityAmericaYoungUsedEconomyLandCollegeHigherUniqueRateAveragePopulationThese DaysSuspectsGraduatesOther CountriesCollege EducationCollege GraduationHigher Learning Author:Paul Krugman
