"Let each of us lead a revolution of support in the lives of others."
"We are members of the Church of Christ."
"Only the church can provide people with quality fellowship."
"When people say the word "convention," they are usually referring to large gatherings of the employees of companies and corporations who attend a mass assembly, usually in a big hotel somewhere, for the purpose of pretending to learn stuff when they are in fact enjoying a free trip somewhere, time off work, and the opportunity to flirt with strangers, drink, and otherwise indulge themselves. The first major difference between a business convention and a fan-dom convention is that fandom doesn't bother with the pretenses. They're just there to have a good time. The second difference is the dress code- the ensembles at a fan convention tend to be considerably more novel."
"Well, just that there would be somebody in the office and the voters - it was more or less an understanding in the entire community, as long as that person was doing a good job on the merits, nobody was going to run against him."
"People bond themselves into families and groups for protection, and strangers...strangers are always at risk."
"If the market is left to sort matters out, social injustice will be heightened and suffering in the community will grow with the neglect the market fosters."
"The countries that share this conception should be able to go further together, without excluding the others, since they can still live in a greater community of exchange and co-operation."

"It seems incontrovertible to me that there is a global warming effect and that it is going to be serious, probably not in the amount of, say, six degrees warming, but it's likely that we'll get two to three degrees warming and that will be serious enough."
"Obviously any group that has to have funding also needs to get attention to their issues."
"The second thing is, if you want to do something about global warming, you have to think much more long-term. There is something wrong with saying we should start using renewables now, while they are still incredibly expensive."
"So it's mainly a question of helping the Third World overcome the effects of global warming."
"I think it's great that we have organisations like Greenpeace. In a pluralistic society, we want to have people who point out all the problems that the Earth could encounter. But we need to understand that they are not presenting a full and rounded view."
"When a business group tells us there is nothing wrong with the environment, naturally they may have good arguments, but we are also sceptical, because we know that they have an interest in these things."
"Just because there is a problem doesn't mean that we have to solve it, if the cure is going to be more expensive than the original ailment."
"Think on a 50-year scale, which is a much more natural time-scale for global warming. The US is right now spending about 200 million dollars annually on research into renewable energy."
