“The ugliest thing in America is greed, the lust for power and
domination, the lunatic ideology of perpetual Growth - with a capital G.
'Progress' in our nation has for too long been confused with 'Growth'; I
see the two as different, almost incompatible, since progress means, or
should mean, change for the better - toward social justice, a livable
and open world, equal opportunity and affirmative action for all forms
of life. And I mean all forms, not merely the human. The grizzly, the
wolf, the rattlesnake, the condor, the coyote, the crocodile, whatever,
each and every species has as much right to be here as we do.”
