Growth

"Growth has polluted our water and poisoned our air, and stripped us of contact with sunlight, trees, and lakes. Government has foundered as new agencies have proliferated, splitting tasks and energies among dozens of distant and unconnected bureaus. Individuals have lost touch with the institutions of society, even with one another; and thus have become more and more both perpetrators and victims of coldness, cruelty, and violence."
--Robert F. Kennedy
