“This country lacks the backbone and the spine and the will to demand fair trade and stand up for our products. If our producers can't compete, shame on us. Then we lose.

We are all guilty—we ought all to plead guilty, and not to exculpate ourselves by throwing the blame on others; and I therefore deprecate every kind of reflection against the various descriptions of people who are more immediately involved in this wretched business.” PeopleKindMeanWholeCommonOughtInvolvedAuthorityReflectionShameBlameTradeVariousGuiltyBritainDescriptionThrowingParliamentWretchedGreat Britain Author:William Wilberforce

“Elephants are living treasures. Nature's gardeners. Nature's great teachers. Tragically some people don't give a damn. They prefer the dead treasure to the living one. The ivory.
