“Our oil-based society depends on non-renewable resources. It requires relentless probing into vast reaches of pristine land, sacrificing vital bioregions, and irreplaceable cultures. The possibility of catastrophic climate change is substantially increased by the 40 million barrels of oil burned every day by vehicles. We must all move shoulder to shoulder in a unified front to show this administration that the true majority of people are willing to vote for a cleaner environment and won't back down.” PeopleShowsMovingCultureMillionsEnvironmentSacrificeLandFrontsPossibilityWillingDependsResourcesVoteMajorityClimateClimate ChangeOilShouldersAdministrationVehicleBurnedEcologyRelentlessBarrelsCleanersUnifiedIrreplaceablePristineProbingRenewable Resources Author:Leonardo DiCaprio

“The Iranian people were converted to Islam not very much longer after the conquest of the Arab world by Islam, but they refused to adopt the Arabic language, and it's a great point of pride to them that Persian culture and the Persian language and Persian literature survived the conversion to Islam. And the conversion to Islam also was for most of them not the Sunni majority form, but the Shia one. So there's a great discrepancy between Iranian society and many other of what we think of as Arab Muslim States and systems.” PeopleThinkingWorldStatesFormCultureLiteratureLanguagePrideMajorityIslamConversionSurvivedConquestIranianPersianArab WorldDiscrepanciesShiaDiscrepancies BetweenArabic Language Author:Christopher Hitchens
