When Jesus heard that, he said to them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor; those who are sick do. I've come to call sinners, not people who think they have God's approval."

About 35 years ago, I bought a book called Diet for a Small Planet. It discussed land use efficiency with regard to the production of protein. There now needs to be a movement that promotes Politics for a Small Planet. This is necessary because Earth is the only fully livable--and truly accessible--piece of real estate for many light years around. This politics combines the Golden Rule (do unto others as you would have done unto you) with my just-coined the "Green Rule" (you can continue to indulge in a given activity, so long as that activity would not harm the planet if everyone were to do the same for a few decades).
