AM, Thursday, February 7, 2008
Roy Morrison reconcile the bogus issue that economic growth depends
on dismissing environmental concerns. On the contrary... "The
answer for the Club for Growth, the Bush administration, and the American
Enterprise Institute has been clear: choosing the health of the living
world, the biosphere over jobs is an unaffordable case of sentimentality
by the already comfortable to the detriment of the poor and middle
classes. Sustainability disrupts the magic of creative destruction
from uninhibited market means....In response to the question of: "Fish
or jobs?" sustainability replies: “Both fish and jobs."
Sustainability recognizes that by catching or poisoning all the fish
there would be no jobs." -Roy
Morrison . You
