Doch diese einseitige Fokussierung hat den Blick für das Wesentliche verstellt: die Erhaltung der großen Ökosysteme und der Artenvielfalt. Wenn Meere und Flüsse verseucht und Regenwälder abgeholzt sind, wird auch die Menge des Kohlendioxidausstoßes irrelevant sein.
Vom Verlust Der Freiheit

For example, the fact that black applicants for mortgage loans are turned down at a higher rate than white applicants has been widely cited as proof of racism among lending institutions. The Washington Post, for example, reported that a “racially biased system of home lending exists” and Jesse Jackson called it “criminal activity” that banks “routinely and systematically discriminate against African-Americans and Latinos in making mortgage loans.” But the very same data also showed that whites were turned down at a higher rate than Asian Americans. Was that proof of racism against whites, and in favor of Asians?
