 Americans cannot teach democracy to the world until they restore their own. |
| Animal-rights advocates remind us of this admonition: The ways in which people treat animals will be reflected in how people relate to one another. |
| Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others |
| If one benefits tangibly from the exploitation of others who are weak, is one morally implicated in their predicament? Or are basic rights of human existence confined to the civilized societies that are wealthy enough to afford them? Our values are defined by what we will tolerate when it is done to others. |
| Modern Americans are remarkably capable people, skillful and inventive in many ways, but they are not so good at talking to one another across their vast differences of social class and economic status. |

Like any debtor who borrows more year after year with no plausible way to reverse the trend, a nation sinking deeper into debt enters into an adverse power relationship with its creditors -- greater and greater dependency. |
