It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.
If government were a product selling it would be illegal.
So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no alternative way so far discovered of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system.
I surround myself with positive productive people of good will and decency.
A market is never saturated with a good product but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.
Good copy can't be written with tongue in cheek written just for a living. You've got to believe in the product.
Most sermons sound to me like commercials - but I can't make out whether God is the Sponsor or the Product.
The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.
I am a particular fan of integrative exercise - that is exercise that occurs in the course of doing some productive activity such as gardening bicycling to work doing home improvement projects and so on.
Customers don't know what they want. There's plenty of good psychology research that shows that people are not able to accurately predict how they would behave in the future. So asking them 'Would you buy my product if it had these three features?' or 'How would you react if we changed our product this way?' is a waste of time. They don't know.
By encouraging conservation increasing investments in clean renewable sources of energy and promoting increased domestic production of oil and gas we can build a more secure future for our country.
For 50 years nuclear power stations have produced three products which only a lunatic could want: bomb-explosive plutonium lethal radioactive waste and electricity so dear it has to be heavily subsidised. They leave to future generations the task and most of the cost of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity.
The first of all commodities to be exchanged is labour and the freedom of man consists only in the exercise of the right to determine for himself in what manner his labour shall be employed and how he will dispose of its products.
Widespread state control over art and culture has left no room for freedom of expression in the country. For more than 60 years anyone with a dissenting opinion has been suppressed. Chinese art is merely a product: it avoids any meaningful engagement. There is no larger context. Its only purpose is to charm viewers with its ambiguity.
Freedom is the by-product of economic surplus.
And what do Democrats stand for if they are so ready to defame concerned citizens as the 'mob' - a word betraying a Marie Antoinette delusion of superiority to ordinary mortals. I thought my party was populist attentive to the needs and wishes of those outside the power structure. And as a product of the 1960s I thought the Democratic party was passionately committed to freedom of thought and speech.
If we do not change our negative habits toward climate change we can count on worldwide disruptions in food production resulting in mass migration refugee crises and increased conflict over scarce natural resources like water and farm land. This is a recipe for major security problems.
Taste is developed by the diversity of the products one can sample. I think our children today may be missing an education about food. We must teach them to know their cuisine and to know the equilibrium of nourishment. That is very important for health.
In recent years personal injury attorneys and trial lawyers have attacked the food industry with numerous lawsuits alleging that these businesses should pay monetary damages to those who of their own accord consume too much of a legal safe product.
I am but one member of a vast team made up of many organizations officials thousands of scientists and millions of farmers - mostly small and humble - who for many years have been fighting a quiet oftentimes losing war on the food production front.
Because of technological limits there is a certain amount of food that we can produce per acre. If we were to have intensive greenhouse agriculture we could have much higher production.
Urban conservationists may feel entitled to be unconcerned about food production because they are not farmers. But they can't be let off so easily for they are all farming by proxy.
I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later.
With nine degrees of warming computer models project that Australia will look like a disaster movie. Habitats for most vertebrates will vanish. Water supply to the Murray-Darling Basin will fall by half severely curtailing food production.
A fan sent me a letter and a $10 bill. It's a short letter - all she said was 'Hey since it's harder for you to go out these days without getting photographed here $10 for a pizza.' I was like 'Aww she sent me money for a pizza so I could eat at home!'
