No government is here forever. And there are other forces - the most potent force in our society, in fact, big business - doing good for the environment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am not saying that government has nothing to offer. Government has an important role in fostering an environment conducive to business creation while also protecting its citizens. These are not mutually exclusive.
If you get the government off our back, there's no economy in the world that can create more jobs in the long-term for everybody.
We really need a public-interest government that is not taking marching orders from the fossil-fuel industry and the banks and the war profiteers. We really need a government that is acting on our behalf.
We need a government, alas, because of the nature of humans.
Government is connected to everything we do.
It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.
I know the government needs to ensure economic growth... we just hope it takes care of the environment, too.
If we continue to allow the federal government to live beyond its means, we will all soon have to live beneath ours.
Government has no other end, but the preservation of property.
This is suicidal... our home is the biosphere. That's a very thin layer of air, water and land where all life exists. It's fixed, it can't grow, and yet we cling to this idea that the economy can grow forever. And it must. Well, it can't.
