“The transnational corporations and the money markets have declared the era of human-designed regulations over. Now the market must reign. Because few people in the business community are paid to think about phrases such as "Western civilization," they don't seem to realize that they are proposing the arbitrary denial of 2,500 years of human experience.” PeopleThinkingYearsHumansSeemsRealizingCommunityCivilizationPaidWesternErasDenialCorporationsPhrasesRegulationReignHuman ExperienceArbitraryWestern CivilizationTransnational Corporations Author:John Ralston Saul
“Though there is a benevolence due to all mankind, none can question but a superior degree of it is to be paid to a father, a wife, or child. In the same manner, though our love should reach to the whole species, a greater proportion of it should exert itself towards that community in which Providence has placed us. This is our proper sphere of action, the province allotted us for the exercise of our civil virtues, and in which alone we have opportunities of expressing our goodwill to mankind.” ShouldChildrenWholeActionFatherOpportunityCommunityVirtueGreaterWifeMankindExerciseDegreesPaidSpeciesDuesSuperiorsProportionSpheresProvidenceOur LoveBenevolenceGoodwillProvinces Book:Essays Moral and Humorous: Also Essays on Imagination and Taste Source: Essays Moral and Humorous: Also Essays on Imagination and Taste

“In a government framed for durable liberty, not less regard must be paid to giving the magistrate a proper degree of authority, to make and execute the laws with rigour, than to guarding against encroachments upon the rights of the community.

“In 1990, when we started the Black Community Crusade for Children, we were always talking about all children, but we paid particular attention to children who were not white, who were poor, who were disabled, and who were the most vulnerable.Parents didn't think their children would live to adulthood, and the children didn't think they were going to live to adulthood. That's when we started our first gun-violence campaign. We've lost 17 times more young black people to gun violence since 1968 than we lost in all the lynching in slavery.” PeopleThinkingFirstsChildrenYoungLostParentBlackCommunityWhitePoorAttentionTalkingViolenceParticularGunPaidSlaveryCampaignsVulnerableBlack PeopleAdulthoodDisabledCrusadesGun ViolenceLynchingBlack Community Author:Marian Wright Edelman
