We will always have war until there is enough of every essential to support all lives everywhere around earth.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Synergy means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their parts.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Don't change the man. Change his environment.
R. Buckminster Fuller
