"Right now, among industrialized nations, Norway leads with 1.12% of
its GNP as expenditures for non-military foreign aid; Ireland and the
U.S. are tied for last at 0.2% GNP"

[Bill Bridge, Population Committee, EarthRight Institute, in Chicken
Little Chronicle #11 (1991) [EarthRight Institute, Gates-Briggs
Building, Room 322, White River Junction, VT 05001]]

``Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -- kept us
in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor -- with the cry of grave
national emergency... Always there has been some terrible evil to
gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the
exorbitant sums demanded.  Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem
never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real.''
                                --General Douglas MacArthur, 1957.
