Item description from seller

The Assumption Of These Papers Is That The Only Justification For Government Activity Is To Provide For The Common Welfare. Human Consciousness In Modern Times Is Increasingly Aware Of Environmental Pollution (And Ugliness), Private And Business Compliance With Government Regulations And Laws, Abuse Of Governmental Authority, Systematic Disparities In Income And Wealth, And The Lack Of Concern For Consequences By Financial And Business Organizations And By Governments Themselves. Academic Research And Investigative Reporting Have Made It Impossible To Ignore The Harmful Effects Of Unlimited, Self-Serving Activities Of Businesses And Governments. However, This Awareness Has Not Been Matched By Any Sensitivity To The Basic Issue, Which Is Not That People Will Act In Their Self-Interest To The Greatest Degree Possible, But That People Are Willing To Put Up With Almost Anything Rather Than Criticize The Activities Of Anyone Past, Present And In Future, And To Modify Their Own Behavior To Limit, As Much As Possible, The Activities Of Those Most Destructive Of Essential Environmental And Social Conditions. People Prefer To Whine Rather Than Take Stock Of What They Can Do Themselves (Young Children Will Avoid Dealing In Any Way With Those They Consider To Be Evil, But Adults Will Not, And Will Force Children To Make Compromises Until That Becomes A Way Of Life). Regarding Pollution, It Is Possible To Determine Who Directs, Administratively And As Board Members, The Most Destructive Polluters, And The Most Active Investors In Polluters, And The Most Critical Vendors Who Enable Polluters. They Can Be Identified Publicly, Their Associations Publicized, And The Exact Nature Of Their Activities Presented In Excruciating Detail. People Who Feel Strongly About The Evil Of Particular Behavior Can Then Take Extreme Steps To Avoid Dealing With Those People Or Their Families, And To Modify The Behavior Of Organizations They Must Belong To (Like Pension Funds And Governments) So That Those Organizations No Longer Enable Those "Evil-Doers" In Any Way. It Is A Moral Choice. Wehen We Pass A Bum In The Street, We Must Remember That We Are The Ones Who Enable The Polluters, The Abusive Authorities, The Generators Of Uncontrollable Waste, Etc., Not The Bums We Despise. We Don't Like China And India Continuing To Increase Their Consumption Of Coal, And Generation Of Un-Recyclable Plastic By The Latter, But Is Their Any Consequence For China Or India? No, We Want Our I-Phones And Junk, So We Will Tolerate Any Means By Which Those Industries Are Energized.We Are Spared The More Difficult Choices To Be Made If China And India Burned Muslims Or Christians For Fuel, Fortunately, Because We Don't Actually Know What Choices We And Our Fellow Citizens Would Then Make. Our Intellect Is So Limited That We Think Being Against Anything Important And Powerful Is Being "Against The System".…
