State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to congress. ... inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass. no direct general power over these objects is granted to congress, and, consequently, they remain subject to state legislation.

Laws, it is said, are for the protection of the people. it's unfortunate that there are no statistics on the number of lives that are clobbered yearly as a result of laws: outmoded laws; laws that found their way onto the books as a result of ignorance, hysteria or political haymaking; antilife laws; biased laws; laws that pretend that reality is fixed and nature is definable; laws that deny people the right to refuse protection. a survey such as that could keep a dozen dull sociologists out of mischief for months.

Today, natural gas now outstrips coal as the leading provider of electricity in america. if this is as big as people believe it is, natural gas will soon be powering trucks and marine ships. maybe even standard commercial cars that people use at home through compressed natural gas, other gas to liquids. the potential is there for more energy independence by america and a reliance on cleaner fuel - natural gas emits half as much as coal, in terms of carbon emissions. that's a real bounty.

It is very different to make a practical system and to introduce it. a few experiments in the laboratory would prove the practicability of system long before it could be brought into general use. you can take a pipe and put a little coal in it, close it up, heat it and light the gas that comes out of the stem, but that is not introducing gas lighting. i'll bet that if it were discovered to-morrow in new york that gas could be made out of coal it would be at least five years before the system would be in general use.

Natural gas has been sold as clean energy. but when the gas comes from fracturing bedrock with about five million gallons of toxic water per well, the word “clean” takes on a disturbingly orwellian tone. don’t be fooled. fracking for shale gas is in truth dirty energy.

My fear represented the failure of the human system. it is a sad truth of our creation: something is amiss in our design, there are loose ends of our psychology that are simply not wrapped up. my fears were the dirty secrets of evolution. they were not provided for, and i was forced to construct elaborate temples to house them.
