“In our society competitive capitalism has put family life and working life on a collision course.In Canada statistics show that over 70 percent of the burden of caring for children, the aged, the disabled and the sick falls on women most of whom receive no pay for these very essential tasks.Normally speaking, it may be said that the forces of capitalism, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer and thus increase the gap between them.” IfsMayChildrenSaidShowsFallCoursesLeftForcePoorPayRichEssentialsPercentCapitalismTasksSickIncreaseBurdenCaringCanadaOur SocietyStatisticsGapsFamily LifeDisabledCollisionChild CareWorking Life Author:Jawaharlal Nehru

“The great common people of this country are slaves, and monopoly is the master. . . . The politicians said we suffered from overproduction. Overproduction, when 10,000 little children, so statistics tell us, starve to death every year in the United States. . . . We will stand by our homes and stay by our fireside by force if necessary, and we will not pay our debts to the loan-shark companies until the government pays its debts to us.” PeopleIfsYearsChildrenLittlesSaidCountryStatesHomeGovernmentForceUnitedCommonPayCompanyUnited StatesMastersPoliticianSlaveDebtStatisticsLoanMonopolySharks Author:Mary Elizabeth Lease
“A lot is said, by foreigners and the left, about America being a violent society. Yet if you subtract the crime statistics for its largest cities places that have been under the strict political control of so-called "progressives", sometimes for many generations what remains, the real America, is the most peaceful, productive, prosperous, and truly progressive civilization in all of human history.” IfsHumansHas BeensSaidRealSometimesAmericaPoliticalLeftCitiesGenerationsCrimeCivilizationRemainsViolentPeacefulProductiveStatisticsProgressiveStrictHuman HistoryProsperousForeigners Author:L.

“It is often said that the progression from simple to complex runs counter to the normal statistics of chance that are formalized in the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Strictly speaking, we could avoid this criticism simply by insisting that the Second Law does not apply to living systems in the environment in which we find them. For the Second Law applies only when there is no overall flow of energy into or out of a system, whereas all living systems are sustained by a net inflow of energy.” DoeSaidRunningLawEnergyChanceSimpleEnvironmentAtheismNormalFlowCriticismComplexesPositive AtheismStatisticsProgressionInsistingThermodynamics Author:Jacob Bronowski
