consider council hotel imminent remaining seems wants
We consider it the only remaining tourist-railroad hotel in the region. It seems imminent to me that the council wants to see a resolution.
against compete defense good
We compete against a good defense every day,
baseball everybody yankees
We don't want to be baseball. It's the Yankees and everybody else there.
america given happiness law music protects time
We have given America and the world happiness with our music and it's time that we have a law that protects us and our legacy.
asked people
The day will come when all of us will be asked a question, what did you do? People were dying, people were getting sick. It didn't have to happen, what did you do?
accounts bank cause current fact fast increase japan march means moved push rate run soon
The fact that the Bank of Japan moved in March means they are much more opportunistic. With the current accounts being run down very fast that will cause more speculation of a rate increase soon that will push down two- to five-year notes.
running jesus crazy
And pigs may fly. And we may be able to terraform and send surface populations to Mars. And Jesus may come next week anyway, so it doesn't matter one way or the other. All these crazy things run through people's minds.
differences half world
If we lose half the species, which could happen by the end of the century if we don't do anything, that's going to create a big difference down the line in the stability and even the economic potential in the living world. Irreversibly.
appreciate people world
The living environment is the biosphere, the thin layer around the world of living organisms. We're part of that. Our existence is dependent on it in ways that people haven't even begun to appreciate. Our existence depends not just on its existence, but its stability and its richness.
running zoos animal
The solutions like freezing zygotes, fertilized eggs, of all kinds of animals and so on, or keeping them in zoos and having arboreta where we have trees, all these things have been promoted. Even getting the complete genetic code of various fishes so we can let them pass away and then we'll pull them back. That is science fiction run amok.
ecosystems majority gone
The vast majority of species that are vanishing, we haven't even discovered yet. How can you possibly put them back in nature if the ecosystem is gone?
adventure home thinking
That's the way to get young people. Once they see there are wonderful things to hunt for, to rediscover a species that was thought to be extinct or is extremely rare, to be the first to see a nest, to discover a new species unsuspected close to your home - these are things, I think, with a little education and excitement and the right kind of natural history would actually start a movement that makes going back to nature a profitable adventure.
kids able way
Every kid has a bug period, I like to say, and I just got so fascinated and I had that experience, that wonderful life of being able to go out on my own without really any supervision at all. I just lucked out that way. I was trusted as a kid.
thinking agreement people
I think that's my nature, to want to bring people together rather than to try to bombard them into agreement.
