"If we are going
to get rid of this cold [technological] evil which is threatening the
biosphere, destroying society, and emptying our children of all meaning,
we simply have to devolve our technological systems so that they are
democratic, so that they can be responsive to us and we can take
responsibility for them, so they comport with nature, with life forms on
the earth." --Andrew Kimbrell
