Exactly. Economic development follows universities.

People don’t even understand history.

Yeah the “as” is totally unnecessary.

I was saying to a friend that I can see that the skies are emptier than when I was growing up.

The saddest thing is if you learn about the wildlife populations the first Europeans recorded in America. Skies darkened by birds. Game by the tens of thousands.

We live in an empty desert of our own making now and most of us don’t even know it.

Wishes are always problematic.

They inevitably devolve into lawyering.

Central banks buying up all the bad debt every time there is a crisis creates a massive moral hazard.

Basically the best business model is to rack off the most garbage debt possible then wait for the next crisis and let the central banks eat all the risk.

I have been outraged over Syria, but the solutions are far less clear. What solution are you proposing there?

Weird. The Sierra Club has accomplished way more by changing laws than eco terrorists have.

Fossil fuel companies would love for you to write off traditional nonprofits.

Is there a text summary?

Awesome speech. The saddest thing is that most republicans will never be aware of it.

Great writer. Tragic stories.

I have a friend who is a female pilot. The amount of bullshit she has to put up with from loser copilots who think they are god’s gift just because they got through a crappy flight school is unreal. She has held back her own career just to fly solo so she doesn’t have to deal with the nasty comments and stories. Again, tragic.
