- The banking system is one of the most centralized institutions
  of our economy and one of the major obstacles to strengthening
  regional economies and the communities within them. Yet centralized
  banking is only a recent development in the United States. The
  customs of borrowing and lending and money-printing grew up over
  generations in towns and rural communities to form what we now
  call our banking systems. These systems were small-scale, regional,
  and decentralized.

- 'economics is a "derived" science which accepts instructions from what I call meta-economics. As the instructions are changed, so changes the contents of economics.
- From the point of view of the employer, it is in any case simply an item of cost, to be reduced to a minimum if it cannot be eliminated altogether, say, by automation. From the point of view of the workman, it is a 'disutility'; to work is to make a sacrifice of one's leisure and comfort, and wages are a kind of compensation for the sacrifice.
- to organise work in such a manner that it becomes meaningless, boring, stultifying, or nerve-racking for the worker would be little short of criminal; it would indicate a greater concern with goods than with people, an evil lack of compassion and a soul-destroying degree of attachment to the most primitive side of this worldly existence.

Have You Fallen for these 7 Negative Attitudes Pushed by the Media

- 3. Roaming Eye:
- 4. Destructive Communication:
- 5. Clique Mentality:
- 6. Stereotypes:
- 7. Danger Fixation:
- Listen, I’m not trying to say all media is bad; it’s not. Movies in
  particular can be wonderful works of art or much-needed distractions,
  and there’s nothing inherently evil about television, radio, print,
  or the internet; quite the contrary, all forms of media provide wonderful
  channels of communication.
  
  I’m simply saying that the media’s darker side is bound to seep into
  our collective conscience; it surrounds us. And we’re receptive
  to it.

- You don't get rewarded in commercial broadcasting
  for trying to tell the truth about the institutions of power in this country,"
  said veteran TV journalist Bill Moyers in December 2004. "I think my peers
  in commercial television are talented and devoted journalists, but they've chosen
  to work in a corporate mainstream that trims their talent to fit the corporate
  nature of American life. And you do not get rewarded for telling the hard truths
  about America in a profit-seeking environment

- the age-old overlap between poverty and race plays itself out in a peculiarly cruel way as regards drug prisoners: African Americans are estimated to make up 14% of the country's drug users, yet over half of those sentenced to prison on drug charges. In part that might be attributable to deliberate racism.
- New York state, blacks make up about 16% of the population, but well over half of all prisoners.

- Bottled water costs way more than the few bucks you pay at the store. Across the U.S., rural communities are footing the bill for the booming bottled water industry. Nestlé's advance on a small town in California is the latest example.

- "In an age when man has forgotten his origins and is blind even to his most essential needs for survival, water has become the victim of his indifference," Rachel Carson
- Neoliberalism is the belief in "economic liberalism," which espoused that government control over the economy was bad. It opened up the commons to commodification and let corporations privatize what once belonged to the public.
- and it is an equally powerful ingredient for profitable manufacturing companies.
- Expensive marketing campaigns convince people that their tap water is unsafe to drink. Then, companies like Coke and Pepsi bottle municipal tap water and others like Nestle pilfer spring water from rural communities and resell it at huge profits.

- Yes, we can't allow those pesky studies on air quality. It is much better to blame it all on smoking, thereby placing the guilt on the people, rather than on industry and government.
  
  Mr. Terminator has been very aggressive in pushing anti smoking laws. Can it be more blatant?
