“For women, all women, whatever our sexuality, it's crucial to our health that we are able to separate sexuality from reproduction. I mean whether or not we can control when we give birth is the biggest element in our health, our education, our economic welfare, our life expectancy, everything.” GivingMeanAbleOur LivesEconomicBirthElementsSexualityWelfareCrucialReproductionExpectancyLife Expectancy Author:Gloria Steinem
“With the increasingly important role of intelligent machines in all phases of our lives--military, medical, economic and financial, political--it is odd to keep reading articles with titles such as Whatever Happened to Artificial Intelligence? This is a phenomenon that Turing had predicted: that machine intelligence would become so pervasive, so comfortable, and so well integrated into our information-based economy that people would fail even to notice it.” PeopleWellsImportantPoliticalReadingRolesEconomyOur LivesFailingHappenedEconomicMilitaryInformationComfortableMachinesIntelligentFinancialMedicalTitlesOddPhenomenonArtificial IntelligenceArticlesArtificialPhasesIntegratedIntelligent Machines Book:The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence Source: The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence

“Something is amiss, deeply wrong, something is deeply wrong with the way we're living our lives collectively, with the way we are creating our collective experience on earth. And we are coming to the conclusion that the problem after all is not political, that the problem after all is not economic, that the problem after all cannot be solved with bombs or missiles or bullets, but that the problem in fact is spiritual, that the problem with the world today is as it has always been, a problem of our most basic beliefs. Without a doubt it`s a spiritual awakening and a spiritual revolution.” WorldWayFactsProblemTodayEarthSpiritualPoliticalBeliefDoubtOur LivesEconomicRevolutionCreatingAwakeningConclusionBombsCollectivesBulletsWorld TodaySpiritual AwakeningMissiles Author:Neale Donald Walsch
“There are good people and bad people in all organizations fundamentally however, when you look at the basis of the Tea Party it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with an economic recovery.

“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it--to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.” YearsWarCountryProblemBigsGovernmentChoicesLeftAttentionOur LivesHeardEconomicBalanceEconomicsPaidAdversityMovedSouthEastCivil WarReconciliationBig ProblemsVoicelessBalance Of Power Author:Lyndon B.

“An unfolding technology has increased our economic strength and added to the convenience of our lives. But that same technology-we know now-carries danger with it. From the great smoke stacks of industry and from the exhausts of motors and machines, 130 million tons of soot, carbon and grime settle over the people and shroud the Nation's cities each year. From towns, factories, and stockyards, wastes pollute our rivers and streams, endangering the waters we drink and use.” PeopleKnowsYearsUseNationsWaterCitiesMillionsTechnologyOur LivesEconomicDangerIndustryDrinkWasteRiversMachinesTownsEnvironmentalSmokeSettlingStreamsCarrieFactoriesPollutionCarbonConvenienceMotorUnfoldingShroudsGrime Author:Lyndon B.

“The arts have long been an integral and vibrant part of our nation's cultural heritage. In its many forms, art enables us to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and of our society. Providing us with a unique way to learn about people of other cultures, it allows us to discover all that we have in common. At its best, art can beautify our cities, encourage economic development and social change, and profoundly affect the ways we live our lives.” PeopleWayLongArtFormCultureNationsSocialUnderstandingCommonCitiesOur LivesEconomicDevelopmentUniqueGainsDeeperOur SocietyHeritageProvidingSocial ChangeEconomic DevelopmentOther CulturesCultural HeritageDeeper UnderstandingBest Art Author:William J.
