"And then the bodies came back in plastic bags. And even after 30 years, it seems not to have occurred to MacNamara that he did anything wrong. Right and wrong seemed to have no place in his analytical brain. Instead, he wondered how he could have done his job better, how he could have fought the war more efficiently, or why he "missed opportunities" to settle it at lower cost. He saw no moral lessons?only practical ones. He looked for no wisdom from the dead, only hints from the living about how to win." - William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.) "Nationalism, economic competition, militarism, secret treaties, lofty ideals, low-down secret deals, treachery, rivalry—the answers flew out of the frontal lobe like plastic bags out of a welfare high-rise.

In 1992, when I first notified veterinarians in Ontario as well as the general Canadian public via a live radio show explaining that euthanized pets were being sent to rendering facilities in Quebec, the public outcry was tremendous." - Ann N. Martin, Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food (Get the book.)

"The discs that lie between the lower-back vertebrae are like half-dollar-sized plastic bags filled with a squishy substance that looks like crab meat. They hydrau-lically cushion the movement of all the bones. These lumbar discs are the thickest of all the spinal discs, because they absorb the most weight.

Hot food department. Many supermarkets sell a variety of hot foods. Chinese and Mexican foods are popular, but many are cooked with unhealthy oils and contain substantial amounts of carbohydrates. The safest hot food is a rotisserie chicken, which you can eat at home with vegetables." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"The streets are littered with discarded newspapers, food, and plastic bags. Diesel fumes laden with dirt swirl down many streets. At the same time, there are many small parks, a very active weekly regional market where almost all of the buyers and sellers wear traditional clothing, and a thousand small businesses that cater to local needs, not tourist whims. I walked back to the town square and took a room at a quiet, one-story boardinghouse. It had an inner courtyard, beautiful plantings, and wiring that didn't threaten my immediate execution." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.) "Representatives of most of the parties milled about while the clear plastic bags were piled up in front of the commissioners. Each bag was brought forward and a judge would pull out a ballot and mark the master vote sheet. The ballot was then passed to a second judge for confirmation and placed in another big bag behind the judges—very transparent and efficient. The party reps and the observers moved around the judges, watching the counting and often watching each other. At first the room was full of excitement, the air tinged with tension." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"When it got really bad, a doctor recommended that I sleep with plastic bags wrapped around my feet to make sure the medicine was soaking all the way in. I wondered why I should bother, since the medication clearly was not working, but I gave it my best try, all the while wondering if maybe the experts were having a bigger problem than I was. They didn't seem to know what to do for me, and they wouldn't admit it, but I knew if I voiced my doubts, my mom would kill me. Instead, I hid my feet from everyone, and eventually my parents refused to spend any more money taking me to doctors." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"Soda cans, plastic bags, paper, wire—you name it: AWC sees all these things as raw material for creative expression. At the time the mountain was established in Soweto, AWC was led by a charismatic social entrepreneur and community builder, Mandla Mentoor, who managed to work with the local people to translate the AWC approach into a broader community vision. What if the area's cultural waste—the squandered natural, social, and human capital — could be turned into social art? In 2001, Mentoor won an award for his work in the community." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

To serve, soak V2 to 3/4 cup of muesli for at least a half hour in diluted fruit juice or water. If you are having digestive problems you may want to soak the muesli in water overnight to help soften the oats further. Tips: • Sweet crunchy apples are delicious with this recipe. • Use a coffee grinder to grind whole flaxseed. • To mix the ingredients, use the biggest mixing bowl you have, a large paper bag, or split the ingredients into two batches." - Elson M.
