I have the old version of the book. My page numbers are different from the book that most of the class are using. But i will put the pages on my book anyways. The topics that interest me the most are:
"Even in the face of this and other evidence of the potential dangers and present calamities produced by our explosive growth, those shouted down as Luddites or environmental extremists or are dismissed as being ignorant of basic economics... or as being "anti-growth" as if what we need is more growth." (p.32)
"Our minds and our cultures created our situation. There's great insight in understanding this, the power in realizing how much of a role we can play in redefining the future of the planet for ourselves and our children." (p.117)
"We live in a culture that includes the principle that if somebody else has something we need, and they won't give it to us, and we have the means to kill them to get it, it's not unreasonable to go get it, using whatever force we need to. In some cases, it's even our duty to do so." (p.124)
