We have restricted humans from giving 'free' food to bears and dolphins because we know that such feeding would make them dependent and lead to their extinction. but when it comes to our own species, we have difficulty seeing the connection between short-term kindness and long-term cruelty; we give women money to have more children, making them more dependent with each child and discouraging them from developing the tools to fend for themselves. the real discrimination against women, then, is 'free feeding'.

More From Warren Farrell

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
Right from the moment of our birth, we are under the care and kindness of our parents, and then later on in our life when we are oppressed by sickness and become old, we are again dependent on the kindness of others. since at the beginning and end of our lives we are so dependent on other's kindness, how can it be in the middle that we would neglect kindness towards others?

Some kids have never seen what a real tomato looks like off the vine. they don't know where a cucumber comes from. and that really affects the way they view food. so a garden helps them really get their hands dirty, literally, and understand the whole process of where their food comes from. and i wanted them to see just how challenging and rewarding it is to grow your own food, so that they would better understand what our farmers are doing every single day across this country and have an appreciation for ... that american tradition of growing our own food and feeding ourselves.

[i]t's an honor to be a food stamp president. food stamps feed the hungry. food stamps save the children. food stamps help the farmer. food stamps help the truck driver. food stamps help the warehouse. food stamps help the store. food stamps hire people and feed people. food stamps save people from starvation and malnutrition. ... give president barack obama a big hand. show your love. show your appreciation.

Cruelty, very far from being a vice, is the first sentiment nature injects in us all. the infant breaks his toy, bites his nurse's breast, strangles his canary long before he is able to reason; cruelty is stamped in animals, in whom, as i think i have said, nature's laws are more emphatically to be read than in ourselves; cruelty exists amongst savages, so much nearer to nature than civilized men are; absurd then to maintain cruelty is a consequence of depravity. . . . cruelty is simply the energy in a man civilization has not yet altogether corrupted: therefore it is a virtue, not a vice.

The way moore's law occurs in computing is really unprecedented in other walks of life. if the boeing 747 obeyed moore's law, it would travel a million miles an hour, it would be shrunken down in size, and a trip to new york would cost about five dollars. those enormous changes just aren't part of our everyday experience.
