“Will this massive outcry [about pollution] continue long enough to have effective results? Will federal and state laws be enacted with effective enforcement clauses? Will people be concerned long enough to pay the bill through higher prices? Will towns tole lost jobs when it proves too costly to clean obsolete plants?... I think so, but it sure won't be as easy as the present outcry and political oratory suggest. The answers to preserving a livable environment are not all simple, and some of the nuts now pushing simplistic cure-alls won't help bring about any lasting solutions.” PeopleThinkingLongStatesEnoughHelpingJobsLawPoliticalLostEasyNatureSimpleAnswersResultsPayEnvironmentHigherProveSolutionsConcernedTownsBillsCleanPlantCuresPushingMassiveLastingNutsPollutionEnforcementObsoleteClausesOratory Author:Malcolm Forbes
“The Unexpected stalks a farm in big boots like a vagrant bent on havoc. Not every farmer is an inventor, but the good ones have the seeds of invention within them. Economy and efficiency move their relentless tinkering and yet the real motive often seems to be aesthetic. The mind that first designed a cutter bar is not far different from a mind that can take the intractable steel of an outsized sickle blade and make it hum in the end. The question is how to reduce the simplicity that constitutes a problem ("It's simple; it's broke.") to the greater simplicity that constitutes a solution.” MindFirstsDifferentRealEndsProblemBigsSeemsMovingScienceSimpleEconomyGreaterSolutionsSimplicitySeedsBarsInventionBrokeMotiveUnexpectedFarmsFarmersAestheticBootsEfficiencySteelBentBladesInventorRelentlessStalkingHavocCuttersTinkeringVagrants Author:Verlyn Klinkenborg
