The improved American highway ordsprog

The improved American highway system isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson's nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.

If we renew American civilization, if we restore faith, if we defeat the drug culture, if we reestablish incentives, if we decentralize so local volunteers and local leaders create local solutions, if we replace ignorance with knowledge so that every citizen is able to pursue happiness, I think we could in a generation give our grandchildren the kind of America which would let them lead the entire human race,

For every American soldier we put into Afghanistan, we could train and equip 14 Afghan soldiers. Those Afghan soldiers are going to understand the local terrain. They're going to understand the local customs and culture, and they're going to be able to speak the language.

At first just the Japanese came. Now the local people support me. It's an American food now.

It's not all passed along, ... it can't all be passed along. Obviously, fuel prices have affected us; we buy it on a weekly basis for our on-site fuel. Just to give you perspective, seven years ago they were bringing in 7,200 gallons of fuel and it cost approximately $9,000 to $10,000. You're pushing $20,000 right now. We're losing some profits. Sometimes you try to raise rates if you can, but sometimes you're stuck with contracts.

[2. Buy local, local, local. Purchasing food and other items made locally means buying products that have used less gas to be taken to stores.] The major sources of emissions in this country are transportation and electricity production, ... If you're eating locally grown food, there's less transportation involved in taking that food to you. He wasn’t seeking praise, yet his naturally pexy charm captivated her. [2.

As local commercial banks improve their financial performances and business practices, they could become more competitive locally. Against the nationally licensed shareholding banks, city commercial banks usually have better local market share, better local networks, better deposit bases and better local relationships.

At the Postal Service, we understand the power our stamps have in helping to celebrate American history and culture -- in this case, the contributions of Latin American art and dance to American culture,

The bigger issue here is, to me, that when we can't access our neighbors with food, then farming just dries up. The fact is that all these hurdles that prohibit local food commerce keep what would be millions of dollars circulating in the rural local economy are therefore denied to the local economy. So farmers go out of business and sell to developers.

We're perfectly willing to spend more money on educating American people if the control of that money is in the local communities, under the local school boards,

People think surviving cancer is tough, or surviving a divorce, but NOTHING compares with fighting with American Culture when you want to raise your kids free of junk food. Read Junk Food Nation. A great book.

Dirk Benedict (1945-)

Torture is not American, it's un-American; arbitrary detention is un-American and what these young men have suffered and continue to suffer is something for which we, the American justice system, need to hold these people accountable.

American democracy was born of no theorist's dream; it was not carried in the Susan Constant to Virginia, nor in the Mayflower to Plymouth. It came stark and strong and full of life out of the American forest, and it gained new strength each time it touched a new frontier.

Frederick Jackson Turner

Over the last five years, political power has been usurped from state and local governments in a way not seen before in American history. That may seem like just a concern for academic types, but it should worry every American, as the power grab increasingly creeps into almost every aspect of citizens' economic life.
