“The affluent society has built well in terms of economic progress, but has neglected the protection of the very water we drink as well as the values of fish and wildlife, scenic, and outdoor recreation resources. Although often measureless in commercial terms, these values must be preserved by a program that will guarantee America some semblance of her great heritage of beautiful rivers.” WellsAmericaBeautifulValuesTermWaterProgressEconomicDrinkResourcesBuiltProgramRiversEnvironmentalFishesProtectionGuaranteesHeritageNeglectedWildlifeRecreationAffluentSemblanceEconomic ProgressScenicBeautiful RiverOutdoor Recreation Author:Frank Church
“Sport can be used for messaging, for example, making the connections between shin guards or a helmet that protects you, and protection in terms of HIV and AIDS.

In fact, anticipating their rage, I have already applied for a place in the Canada Council's witness-protection program. This because, much as it pains me to turn on my kind, I fear the time has come to admit that far too many celebrated writers were outrageous liars, philanderers, drunks, druggies, unsuitable babysitters, plagiarists, psychopaths, parasites, cowards, indifferent dads or moms and bad credit risks.” KindFactsPainTurnsSpeakRiskMomDadProgramFellowsCreditProtectionRageWitnessCanadaLiarsCowardIndifferentCouncilTurn-onOutrageousSpeak The TruthPsychopathParasitesBabysitterPhilandererDruggies Author:Mordecai Richler
“And there was a deeper, less visible effect of the Truman loyalty program. Seeing its consequences for certain individuals and fearing its intrusion on their own lives, many in the government sought protection by strongly asserting their anti-Communism. In the public action that ensued, policy was based not on reality but, instinctively or deliberately, on personal caution...Those who urged a militant and sometimes military anti-Communism were considered sound, trustworthy and personally safe; those who questioned such a course were politically unsafe, possible even slightly disloyal.” SometimesRealityGovernmentActionCertainCoursesIndividualSoundSeeingEffectsMilitaryPolicySafeConsequenceProgramDeeperProtectionLoyaltyCommunismVisibleCautionTrustworthyMilitantIntrusionUnsafeTrumanDisloyalAnti Communism Author:John Kenneth Galbraith

“In the nature of things, those who have no property and see their neighbors possess much more than they think them to need, cannot be favorable to laws made for the protection of property.
