“No one ever achieved a goal by being interested in its achievement. One must be committed.

“Above all, we should question the consumer ethic, which uses up non-renewable resources, creates inequality and injustice, generates pollution, destroys other species and upsets the balance of nature. The consumer ethic not only defiles the environment by creating undesirable change in the biosphere but also corrupts the mind and body by defining pleasure in terms of ownership and absorption. Waste itself is a human concept; everything in nature is eventually used. If human beings carry on in their present ways, they will one day be recycled along with the dinosaurs.” IfsWayShouldMindHumansUseBodyUsedTermHuman BeingsPleasureInspiringEnvironmentBalanceOne DayWasteCreatingEthicsConceptsResourcesSpeciesInjusticeInequalityConsumersUpsetPollutionOwnershipDefiningMind And BodyDinosaursAbsorptionUndesirableRecycledBiosphereRenewable Resources Author:Peter Marshall

“High tax rates in the upper income brackets allow politicians to win votes with class warfare rhetoric, painting their opponents as defenders of the rich. Meanwhile, the same politicians can win donations from the rich by creating tax loopholes that can keep the rich from actually paying those higher tax rates - or perhaps any taxes at all. What is worse than class warfare is phony class warfare. Slippery talk about 'fairness' is at the heart of this fraud by politicians seeking to squander more of the nation's resources.” HeartWinningNationsClassRichPaintingHigherPoliticianTaxesCreatingResourcesVoteRateSeekingIncomeOpponentsFraudFairnessWarfareRhetoricDefendersPhonySlipperyDonationClass WarfareLoopholesBracketsHigh Taxes Author:Thomas Sowell

“The system of technological production that we have today has been justified in terms of creating more goods to feed more people and to meet more needs. But it actually destroys more of the resources that we need in order to meet those multiple needs. If we shift to an ecological perception, a diversity perception, we realize that some of the instruments of which we are very proud are actually extremely primitive for dealing with nature.
