I believe the only kind of action that is sustainable is that which is profitable, and fortunately we can do that. We can become much more energy efficient.

I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: “The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that’s fair.” In these words he epitomized the history of the human race.

By preventing a free market in education, a handful of social engineers - backed by the industries that profit from compulsory schooling: teacher colleges, textbook publishers, materials suppliers, et al. - has ensured that most of our children will not have an education, even though they may be thoroughly schooled.

Why is it acceptable to allow the system to control and manipulate peoples lives, but when you bat an eye and decide for yourself it is wrong they label you a “radical”? The system creates radicals, it better learn to live with them.
Or live without the system

The worker becomes all the poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his product increases in power and range. The worker becomes an even cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates

Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.

Suppose you were earning $40 a week when you went on strike. Let us assume the best possible result: we’ll say that the strike lasted only 3 weeks and that you gained a five dollar increase. During your 3 weeks’ strike you lost $120 in wages. Now you get five dollars a week more and it will take you 24 weeks to get that lost $120 back again. So, after six months’ work at the higher pay you will just stand even. But how about the increased cost of living in the meantime? Because you are not only a producer but a consumer. And when you go to buy things you will find they are more expensive than before. Higher wages mean increased cost of living. Because what the employer loses by paying you a greater wage he gets back again by raising the price of his product.
