We can have technology, prosperity, nice homes and cars, but at the same time we must be conscious of what we are dumping into the water, the air and our food.

We had no rising water in our warehouse areas, and don't expect food inspectors to look at our buildings. There's no need for it.

At Christmas our house is like a Donnie and Marie Christmas Special.

People today have forgotten they're really just a part of nature. Yet, they destroy the nature on which our lives depend. They always think they can make something better. Especially scientists. They may be smart, but most don't understand the heart of nature. They only invent things that, in the end, make people unhappy. Yet they're so proud of their inventions. What's worse, most people are, too. They view them as if they were miracles. They worship them. They don't know it, but they're losing nature. They don't see that they're going to perish. The most important things for human beings are clean air and clean water.

So if people will pay attention to what I say because of our success as a group, I am going to use that.

The need for connection and community is primal, as fundamental as the need for air, water, and food.
