Population Quotes - Page 8

• Si la tierra debe perder esa gran porción de su placer que debe a cosas que el aumento ilimitado de riqueza y población extirparía de ella, con el mero propósito de permitirle sostener una población mayor, pero no más feliz ni mejor, espero sinceramente, por el bien de la posteridad, que se contenten con estar inmóviles, mucho antes de que la necesidad les obligue a ello.

• A population may be too crowded, though all be amply supplied with food and raiment. It is not good for a man to be kept perforce at all times in the presence of his species.

• El puritanismo del cristianismo ha hecho estragos con la moderación que un espíritu crítico ilustrado y tolerante habría producido. Me he dado cuenta de que en cualquier país, condado, ciudad u otra región en la que exista una norma que ordene la templanza, la población parece estar compuesta en su totalidad por abstemios y borrachos. Hay una Biblia en ese estante. Pero la guardo junto a Voltaire: veneno y antídoto.

• Estoy muy orgulloso de los notables hombres y mujeres que sirven en el ejército, pero la realidad es que se trata de un porcentaje cada vez menor de la población estadounidense. Por desgracia, esto ha dado lugar a una creciente desconexión entre nuestros militares y la población civil. Hubo un tiempo en que casi todos los estadounidenses participaban. Jardines de la Victoria, colecciones de metales, ahorro de sellos y bonos, todo el mundo hacía su parte para apoyar a nuestros militares. Ahora ya no es así.

• Yes. The all-volunteer force is comprised of a very small percentage of the population. Therefore, fewer citizens have a personal interest in military matters and are not personally impacted.

• Sí y no. Dado que en Estados Unidos sólo alrededor del 1 por ciento de la población sirve en el ejército, a muchos civiles les resulta difícil comprender los sacrificios que hacen las familias de los militares. Sin embargo, mi experiencia es que después de la guerra de Vietnam, el público aprendió que debe apoyar a los militares, apoye o no la guerra. Se ha visto esa avalancha de apoyo a los veteranos tanto de Irak como de Afganistán.

• Nada puede preservar la integridad del contacto entre individuos, excepto una autoridad discrecional en el Estado para revisar lo que se ha vuelto intolerable. Los poderes de la usura ininterrumpida son demasiado grandes. Si las acumulaciones de intereses creados crecieran sin mitigación durante muchas generaciones, la mitad de la población no sería mejor que esclavos de la otra mitad.

• For the protection of the community, of individual life and health, there are some necessities that should be provided for all at the expense of all, such as roads, pure water, and sanitary systems for concentrated population, and reasonably comprehensive mail service. The determination between services that should be operated by the government and those which should be left to private enterprise under proper control should be governed by the degree of necessity to the community as a whole.

• Es de sentido común que cuando las mujeres pueden planificar sus embarazos, las poblaciones crecen más lentamente y, en consecuencia, también lo hacen las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Facilitar el acceso a la anticoncepción y a la salud preventiva debería ser una de las muchas estrategias eficaces utilizadas para luchar contra el cambio climático.

• In Boston, a couple of the women were students and they mentioned how Boston has a huge student population, and that's specific to their experiences of street harassment. They feel like the men were a lot more aggressive, particularly when it comes to social outings and things like that.

• A new study shows that the child population in San Francisco is dwindling and in fact San Francisco has the smallest share of children of any major city in the United States. That's odd, huh? For some reason couples in San Francisco don't seem to be reproducing as much as couples in other cities. Gee, I wonder what the problem is there? You think it might be something in the Rice-A-Roni?

• So long as the great majority of the poor in any country are inert and are laboring without any hope in this world, the whole associated life of that community rests on an equivocal foundation. Its moral and social order is tied to an economic system which starves and mutilates the great majority of the population, and under such conditions its religion necessarily becomes a spiritual drug, administered for the purpose of subduing the popular discontent and relieving the popular misery.

• One of the reasons I think the population question is important, if we want to be as green as possible, any of our energy that is truly renewable is limited. Solar and wind are intermittent and they're so diffuse, it's difficult to harness them in a significant way. But one thing we could be doing is making it a law (like it is in Israel and Cyprus) to take every building eight stories or under and heat all of the water in those buildings with solar energy. It's absolutely simple and cheap technology.

• One of the top challenges is the fact that you are dealing with survivors. Every time you deal with a documentary film subject it is fraught with obvious minefields but when you are dealing with a population that is severely traumatized and trying to recover from that trauma there is an extra level of vigilance and care and attention that has to be implemented all the time at every level.

• I think that until a filmmaker knows that about him- or herself, the films they make will just be copies of other people's work. It's important for anyone who wants to make films for a living, but I think perhaps it has an even greater weight for female filmmakers since they represent a much smaller percentage of the population. Their voices are fewer so they must be even stronger.

• The Mongol conquests are difficult to fathom. Although their most important technology was the horse, they conquered much of the known world from China to Europe, a series of wars that killed tens of millions of people, then a substantial chunk of the world's population.

• There are more obese people in the world than starving people. As China and India start to develop our eating habits - and not by accident but because agribusiness is going over there and imposing our habits on them - if the population doesn't increase at all, we'll have to raise twice as many animals as we do.
