“Once upon a time a Georgian printed a couple of books that attracted notice, but immediately it turned out that he was little more than an amanuensis for the local blacks--that his works were really the products, not of white Georgia, but of black Georgia. Writing afterward as a white man, he swiftly subsided into the fifth rank.” MenWritingLittlesBookBlackWhiteProductsCoupleLocalsWhite ManFifthPrintedGeorgiaOnce Upon A TimeGeorgians Author:Joel Chandler Harris
“It is better to buy from a small, privately owned local store than from a chain store. It is better to buy a good product than a bad one. Do not buy anything you don't need. Do as much as you can for yourself. If you cannot do something for yourself, see if you have a neighbor who can do it for you. Do everything you can to see that your money stays as long as possible in the local community.” IfsNeedsLongCan DoCommunityProductsEnvironmentalStoresNeighborLocalsChainsSustainabilityLocal Community Book:Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community: Eight Essays Source: Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community: Eight Essays

“Nationality is not a universal human principle but an historical, local fact...Every nation, even a small one, has its own character, its own particular way of life and manner of speaking, feeling, thinking, and behaving. These distinctive features are the essence of nationality, the product of a nation's entire history and conditions of existence. Every nation, like every individual, is of necessity what it is, and has an unquestionable right to be itself. So-called national rights consist precisely of this.” ThinkingWayHumansCharacterFactsFeelingsIndividualNationsExistencePrinciplesRightsConditionsParticularProductsEssenceUniversalHistoricalLocalsFeaturesNationalityDistinctive Book:Bakunin: Statism and Anarchy Source: Bakunin: Statism and Anarchy

“There's politics. When you talk about Asia - no one really wants to approach that full-force because it's very thin ice. No one wants to harm the relations with Asia, where most of those products are going to and being exported to.
