Donella Meadows Zitate

It's a fair guess that at the rate we're destroying habitat, especially but not exclusively in the tropics, we're pushing to extinction about one species every hour. That doesn't count the species whose populations are being reduced so greatly that diversity within the population is essentially gone.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Man kann davon ausgehen, dass wir mit dem Tempo, in dem wir den Lebensraum zerstören, vor allem aber nicht ausschließlich in den Tropen, jede Stunde das Aussterben einer Spezies fordern. Das zählt nicht die Arten, deren Populationen so stark reduziert werden, dass die Vielfalt innerhalb der Population im Wesentlichen wegfällt.

Houses of worship can be the heart of a community. They can be the cradle of a family. They can be places where our children go to learn, not just faith, but to make friends. They build connections. They are essential to a healthy America. And every community deserves the right to have those houses of worship operate in safety and peace.

There is but one nation on the globe from which we have anything serious to apprehend, but that is the most powerful that now exists or ever did exist. I refer to Great Britain.

The aging and declining population will have far-reaching impacts. Declining fertility rates will possibly increase immigration. The structure of family and society will inevitably change.

We know that if memory is destroyed in one part of the brain, it can be sometimes re-created on a different part of the brain. And once we can unravel that amino chain of chemicals that is responsible for memory, I see no reason why we can't unlock it and, essentially, wipe out what's there.
