John Perkins Quotes

The First Question We Must Address Deals With Optimism, The Possibility Of Achieving Our Goal. Are We In A Position Where We Can Actually Hope To Effect Change? Assuming We Become Convinced That There Are Reasons For Optimism, We Move To The Next Question. Are We Cetain That We Want Change? The Stories About EHMs, Jackals, And Suffering Around The Globe Strike Raw Nerves, But Now We Demand Absolute Proof That Our Grievances Justify The Efforts Change Will Demand. Third: Is There A Unifying Principle That Will Validate Our Efforts? We Look To Ascertain That We Are Not Merely Seeking To Impose Our Moral, Religious, Or Philosophical Values On Others But Instead Are Intent On Creating Something Of True And Lasting Universal Benefit. And Finally: What Can We Each Do? You And I Personally Need To Evaluate Our Talents And Passions. What Are Our Individual Options And Desires? How Do They Fit Into The Bigger Picture?
