I have witnessed the takeover of my world by plastic.

The problem with addicted people, communities, corporations, or countries is that they tend to lie, cheat, or steal to get their 'fix.' Corporations are addicted to profit and governments to power.

Patriotism is nationalism, and always leads to war.

Cuba is a wonderful country. What Castro’s done is superb.

The U.S. population, a mere four or five percent of the world total, creates half the world's toxic waste.

Terrorists do not actually need nuclear weapons. They have been conveniently supplied with 103 nuclear power plants scattered throughout the United States (438 of these deadly facilities exist throughout the world). A planned meltdown at one of these facilities would make the World Trade Center attacks seem like child's play. The massive concrete containers protecting the reactors are not strong enough to withstand the impact of a jumbo jet.
