Clips from audio:
“I’m glad to talk to such a couple of astute fellows who have things planned out and who are able to decide for me the best course for my future plans in this world and county. You just make life easier.”
“We’re glad to make life easier for you, Sir.”
“Is it okay to hug trees? What do y’all think?”
“Well, I wouldn’t let anybody see me do it.”
“Then it’s bad. Okay, I’ll go with y’all. Y’all are smart fellers.”
“Well, it’s only bad if you get caught.”
“You know what? That’s the truth.”
“If you do it on the first date.”
“My cousin told me not to fish in Arkansas ‘cause the fish glowed in the dark.”
We laff.
“I’m SERious!”
“If you’re environmentally concerned about things like blind cave fish, well, we’re going to stock the Seaport with blind cave fish to cover our environment butts.”
“That’s a good idea.”
“If a person has a lot of money, they must be smart. Right?”
“Yes, sir.”
“So when a person with a lot of money comes along and tell you what to do you should pay attention to them and do what the people with money tell you what to do.”
“Yes, sir. That makes sense.”
“I think so. I think everyone should stay information.”
“It works as long as everybody buys it.”
“Well, I buy everything I can.”
“Good for you, Sir.”
“We figure what’s on TV is so bad we couldn’t be any worse.”
“It’s children who are teaching parents to recycle now.”
“I think there are a lot more questions than there are answers.”
"Apparently.”
“That’s what we’re here to do, is to ask the questions, and to look at it from all points of view. That’s the Whirled View.”
“What if the world had no electricity?”
“Well it had no electricity for a long time.”
“So for a short, short period of human history the planet has electricity, and what happened? A one-world government grew out of it. It’s my belief that if all the electricity went off, what you would get is lots of little, tiny independent governments … like, the Ozark region would become an autonomous region again, and it would not depend upon importing food from far away, importing energy from far away .. we would create, produce, distribute our own energy, and our own power, and food, et cetera, on a smaller, human scale that we could keep up with, that would be sustainable. We wouldn’t be dependent upon oil from the Middle East that’s controlled by a nutcake.”
“And because of that we would pay more attention to how we treat our immediate environment.”
“Right. We wouldn’t dump pollutants into our water if we knew that it had a finite life, and so did we.”
“See, there’s not a lot we can do about Africa but we can do things about what’s happening in our own sphere of influence.”
“Take care of your own.”
“That’s where we need do work.”
