“The issue here really is not whether international trade shall be free but whether or not it makes any sense for a country - or, for that matter, a region - to destroy its own capacity to produce its own food. How can a government, entrusted with the safety and health of its people, conscientiously barter away in the name of an economic idea that people's ability to feed itself? And if people lose their ability to feed themselves, how can they be said to be free?” PeopleIfsSaidIdeasCountryMatterGovernmentNamesLosesAbilityIssuesEconomicProduceCapacitySafetyTradeInternationalRegionsInternational Trade Author:Wendell Berry

When the car companies were found to have a memo that actually said, "This safety feature costs X and saved Y lives," the very existence of that memo was considered damning. Or when you made it reimbursable for a doctor to ask, "Do you want heroic care at the end-of-life," that was a death panel. No, it wasn't a death panel!

“The idea of safety had shrunk into particles - one snug moment, then the next. Meanwhile, the brain piped fugues of worry and staged mind-theaters full of tragedies and triumphs, because unfortunately, the fear of death does wonders to focus the mind, inspire creativity, and heightens the senses. Trusting one's hunches only seems gamble if one has time for seem; otherwise the brain goes on autopilot and trades the elite craft of analysis for the best rapid insights that float up from its danger files and ancient bag of tricks.” IfsMindDoeIdeasMomentsSeemsNextBrainWonderCreativityWorryFocusDangerInspireGoes OnTragedyTheaterSafetyTradeAncientInsightSensesTricksCraftsTriumphAnalysisBagsElitesFloatsRapidsParticlesFear Of DeathFilesGambleHunchesInspire CreativityFugueAutopilotTragedy And Triumph Author:Diane Ackerman
