In the kind of world we have today transformation of humanity might well be our only real hope for survival.

The hope of Internet anarchists was that repressive governments would have only two options: accept the Internet with its limitless possibilities of spreading information or restrict Internet access to the ruling elite and turn your back on the 21st century as North Korea has done.

Corporations consumers and citizens must begin acting in concert to create a powerful third pillar of social transformation if we hope to meet the social challenges we currently face with equal force. This begins with corporations that choose to alter how they practice capitalism in two ways to serve the greater good.

A radical inner transformation and rise to a new level of consciousness might be the only real hope we have in the current global crisis brought on by the dominance of the Western mechanistic paradigm.

The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.

I'm quite good at taking in information so I voraciously inhale Wikipedia - which may have some things wrong in it but I think is generally more information than we had before. Last tour we didn't have Wikipedia. And then Discovery Channel and History Channel. I can take it in and retain what I think are the most important facts.

From Caesar's legions to the Napoleonic wars. From the Reformation the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution to the defeat of nazism. We have helped to write European history and Europe has helped write ours.

The history of man is the history of crimes and history can repeat. So information is a defence. Through this we can build we must build a defence against repetition.

To get away from poverty you need several things at the same time: school health and infrastructure - those are the public investments. And on the other side you need market opportunities information employment and human rights.

I also rise today in strong support of forward movement on the implementation of health information technology which has the potential to save the United States billions of dollars in health care costs each year.

If a State has reliable scientific information that demonstrates that a warning is needed for a particular food then in the interest of public health it should share that information with the FDA and petition for a new national standard.

As problems like identity theft become more prevalent now more than ever Americans need to take their financial health seriously - and this information is of the utmost importance.

Fear is a question: What are you afraid of and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness because illness contains information your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore them.

We all want more information available when making health care decisions for ourselves and our families.

And so to those who suggest that we are somehow 'harming' young women by encouraging them to take charge of their health we say this: We are not harming young women by educating them. We are arming them with information that they will carry with them throughout their lives.

I think young writers should get other degrees first social sciences arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information.

My house was bugged. They couldn't find any information on me being a subversive because I happen to love America I just don't like some of the things the government is doing.

If Bush as I believe has reliable information on the fact that Saddam Hussein is making weapons of mass destruction I cannot not support the policies of his government.

We are witnessing an enormous shift of collective consciousness throughout the world. We are at the precipice of great transformation within our culture and government.

The control of information is something the elite always does particularly in a despotic form of government. Information knowledge is power. If you can control information you can control people.

A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both.

It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes it was 29 years.

AARP knows the future is bright for a generation that's going to remain healthy and vital for 10 20 30 40 more years. AARP has the information and resources people need throughout their process of reinvention.

And I think that being able to make people laugh and write a book that's funny makes the information go down a lot easier and it makes it a lot more fun to read easier to understand and often stronger. So there's all kinds of advantages to it.
