laws opposed point revolves
I take a biocentric point of view. I look at things from the point of view of the Earth and the laws of ecology. As opposed to the anthropocentric point of view, where everything revolves around humanity.
condemn corporate crew hands law taking
There are many who condemn my crew and I for taking the law into our own hands and for taking on the barons of corporate profit.
drama communication law
It's funny but when young people say to me "what can I study to be a force for change, should I study law or biology or business?" My answer is music, drama, journalism, communications.
motivation ocean law
There is a lack of economic and political motivation to defend life in the oceans. The profit is made by companies exploiting the oceans and they have the money to buy the politicians who make the laws.
law insanity humanity
I have hope that humanity will be cured of our collective ecological insanity and that we adapt to living within the boundaries of the laws of ecology.
animal law broken
We should never feel like we're going too far in breaking the law, because whatever laws you break to liberate animals or to protect the environment are very insignificant compared to the laws that are broken by that parliament of whores in Washington. They are the biggest lawbreakers, the biggest destroyers, the biggest mass-murderers on this planet right now.

We are usually a different team after the Invitational. We had one runner-up and four third-place finishers. I am really pleased with the way the tournament turned out.

Every time we approached them, they ran. We kept them running for 4,000 miles and 15 days.

Russian subs are a bargain at $60,000. Unfortunately, none of the dials or instructions are in English.
bomb protest somebody threat
I was doing a talk show in Vancouver, and somebody called in a bomb threat to protest my violence, which I thought was pretty strange. We had to evacuate.
allowed competent education license nobody people proper raise unless
I feel that people should have a license to have children, that they have proper education how to raise children. And that nobody should be allowed to be a parent unless they can prove that they are competent enough to be a parent.
destroying radical radicals trying
Actually, I never really look at myself as a real radical activist; I am more the conservative. I mean, the conservatives are trying to conserve; the radicals are destroying the planet.
truth
You will not ever perceive the truth that is reality. There are many realities.
billion people
When I was born, there were three billion people on the planet.
