Quotes by Issues The issue of universal coverage is not a matter of economics. Little more than 1 percent of GDP assigned to health could cover all. It is a matter of soul. Uwe Reinhardt gdpissuessoul The individual cannot bargain with the State. The State recognizes no coinage but power: and it issues the coins itself. Ursula K. Le Guin coinsindividualissues Where jargon turns living issues into abstractions, and where jargon ends by competing with jargon, people don't have causes. They only have enemies. V. S. Naipaul issuespeopleenemy I'm convinced that after years of studying the phenomenon, global warming is not the real issue of temperature. That is the issue of a new ideology or a new religion. A religion of climate change or a religion of global warming. This is a religion which tells us that the people are responsible for the current, very small increase in temperatures. And they should be punished. Vaclav Klaus issuesrealyears My main concern is the political dimension of European integration. This is one of the most important issues of all, as far as I'm concerned. It has to do with our past, with our sensitivity, perhaps even our hypersensitivity in this regard. Vaclav Klaus issuespoliticalpast The whole issue of healthcare is very complicated. There have been seven Presidents who've tried to get healthcare reform passed. Valerie Jarrett healthcare-reformissuespresident We have a very old conservation movement, particularly in the United States, which has focused on campaigns to protect endangered species: the spotted owl, the old-growth forest. But usually it stops there. To me, biodiversity is the full spectrum. Species conservation is not only about wilderness conservation. Its also about protecting the livelihood of people even while changing the dominant relationship that humans have had with other species. In India, its an economic issue, not just an ecological one. Vandana Shiva issuesowlpeople When the wilderness movement emerged, it emerged separate from the issue of social inequality and the economic problems of survival. It was a preservationist ecology movement created by an occupying culture. Clearly, a wilderness movement started by Native Americans would not have had the same roots. Vandana Shiva issuesrootsnative-american The people who see the population explosion in the Malthusian way - as a geometric progression - forget that population growth is not a biological issue. People are not increasing in numbers out of stupidity and ignorance. Population growth is an ecological phenomenon linked very intimately to other issues, such as the usurpation of the resources which allow people to live. Vandana Shiva issuesignorancenumbers I didn't leave physics because of boredom. I left it because other issues compelled me in a bigger way. And I always say to myself, "When I'm 60, I'd like to go back to what I interrupted." Vandana Shiva boredomissuesway In civilizational issues you don't look at the tiny details as the debate. You have to look at the big picture! Vandana Shiva detailsissueslooks Population control is not an issue involving contraceptives for third world women. It is an issue of ecological justice. Vandana Shiva populationissuesjustice I don't like to comment on a specific local issue because there are plenty of people already working on the problem who know a lot more about it than I do. Van Jones issuesproblempeople Today the environmental movement has become opposed to issues of justice. You can see this in the way issues are framed. It's a permanent replay of jobs-versus-the-environment, in nature-versus-bread. These are extremely artificial dichotomies. Vandana Shiva issuesjusticejobs The first issue that compelled me was a very strange split between India being highly development scientifically (we were the third biggest scientific manpower in the world then) and yet at the same time struggling with amazing poverty. The linear equation that says that modern science equals progress and the reduction of poverty did not apply to India. It wasn't working. Vandana Shiva progressissuesstruggle I think we have reached a stage now where we need to find solutions to economic injustice in the same place and in the same ways that we find solutions to sustainability. Sustainability on environmental grounds and justice in terms of everyone having a place in the production and consumption system - these are two aspects of the same issue. They have been artificially separated and have to be put back again in the Western way of thinking. Vandana Shiva issuestwothinking America cannot be America in the new century until it deals with these new questions of gender, including the trans issues, and the questions around faith and Islam. Van Jones islamissuesamerica That is the future, and it is probably nearer than we think. But our primary problem as universities is not engineering that future. We must rise above the obsession with quantity of information and speed of transmission, and recognize that the key issue for us is our ability to organize this information once it has been amassed - to assimilate it, find meaning in it, and assure its survival for use by generations to come. Vartan Gregorian futureissuesthinking All the new songs have been written since the re-issue of Diamond Day. With my first royalties I got a Mac and a little mixer and a keyboard, figured out the basics of a music program, and gradually started to write and record the songs and the arrangements.
