Extreme Poverty Is The Best Breeding Ground

We Are Not At War (except With Our Own Demons).

There Is No Economic Imperative That Will Condemn Us To Deplete Our Vital Resource Base, But Neither Is There An Invisible Hand That Will Prevent Us From Doing So.

Every Morning Our Newspapers Could Read, 'more Than 20,000 People Perished Yesterday Of Extreme Poverty.' How? The Poor Die In Hospital Wards That Lack Drugs, In Villages That Lack Antimalarial Bed Nets, In Houses That Lack Safe Drinking Water. They Die Namelessly, Without Public Comment. Sadly, Sad Stories Rarely Get Written.

Everybody Needs To Understand That Policies Are Going To Change To Make It Unprofitable If You Wreck The Planet, Those Companies That Continue Exploring And Developing Fossil Fuel Resources For Which There Is No Safe Use Are Going To Pay A Very Heavy Cost For That.

If We Did Go Into A Recession, Something That's Always Possible For The U.s. Or Europe, We Could Lower Interest Rates And Expand The Money Supply Without Worrying About The Price Of Gold.
