When we started to do punk, we put all of these things together to create the look of an urban guerrilla - a rebel.

Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the environmental cost.
