“We have the heaviest concentration of lawyers on Earth -- one for every five-hundred Americans; three times as many as are in England, four times as many as are in West Germany, twenty-one times as many as there are in Japan. We have more litigation, but I am not sure that we have more justice. No resources of talent and training in our own society, even including the medical care, is more wastefully or unfairly distributed than legal skills. Ninety percent of our lawyers serve 10 percent of our people. We are over-lawyered and under-represented.” PeopleCareEarthThreeJusticeFiveFourTalentSkillsTrainingPercentHundredResourcesEnglandTwentiesWestIncludingLawyerMedicalNot SureGermanyJapanConcentrationOne TimeThree TimesNinetyTwenty OneMedical CareWest Germany Author:Jimmy Carter

“Instead of disbursing her annual millions for these dye stuffs, England will, beyond question, at no distant day become herself the greatest coloring producing country in the world; nay, by the very strangest of revolutions she may ere long send her coal-derived blues to indigo-growing India, her tar-distilled crimson to cochineal-producing Mexico, and her fossil substitutes for quercitron and safflower to China, Japan and the other countries whence these articles are now derived.” WorldMayLongCountryStuffMillionsGrowingRevolutionIndiaEnglandBlueChinaJapanSubstitutesArticlesMexicoOther CountriesCoalFossilsAnnualsCrimsonIndigo Author:August Wilhelm von Hofmann

“Japan had a more radical experience of future shock than any other nation in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. They were this feudal place, locked in the past, but then they bought the whole Industrial Revolution kit from England, blew their cultural brains out with it, became the first industrialized Asian nation, tried to take over their side of the world, got nuked by the United States for their trouble, and discovered Steve McQueen! Their take on iconic menswear emerges from that matrix.” WorldFirstsStatesWholePastNationsSidesUnitedBrainUnited StatesTroubleCenturyRevolutionEnglandRadicalShockJapanLockedAsianTwentieth CenturyIconicIndustrial RevolutionMcqueenFuture Shock Author:William Gibson
“I'm sure that growing up in the Midwest played a role in my chronic escapism. In fact, before I lived in France, I lived in Japan, England, and Bulgaria.

“The people who invented the twenty-first century were pot-smoking, sandal-wearing hippies from the West Coast like Steve, because they saw differently,” he said.

“What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered, and conducted wars, war criminals? War criminals are not confined to the Axis Powers alone. Roosevelt and Churchill are no less war criminals than Hitler and Mussolini.

“One of the things I discovered in Japan was from watching sumo wrestling. At the end you can never tell who has won the fight, and who has lost, because they do not show their emotion because it could embarrass the loser. It is unbelievable.

“Much attention has been focused on the MMR shot itself, whereas in all probability it is a combination of the three factors listed above: the increasing number of vaccines, the large amount of mercury, and the inherent danger of the triple vaccine.....The MMR vaccine is also especially suspect because laboratories in England, Ireland, and Japan have found evidence of MMR vaccine viruses in the intestinal tracts of autistic children, but not in control group, non-autistic children.” ChildrenHas BeensThreeFoundNumbersAttentionGroupsDangerAmountShotsEvidenceEnglandFocusedFactorsCombinationJapanSuspectsIrelandInherentAutismProbabilityLaboratoryVirusesVaccinesAutisticMercuryAutistic Children Author:Bernard Rimland
