...world. No matter how many cars, no matter how much good living you have, there are billions of people living in poverty who have no cars, no comfort, no public health, no education. The atmosphere is already poisoned. The waters are poisoned. The forests are being subjected to acid rain. The weather is getting warmer. We have suffered from that ourselves. Capitalism developed the forces of production; it developed technology. But at the same time, it has been digging its own grave...
...love Gabrielle for the acid pleasure it gave me, for the eloquence of its characters discomfort, for the brute delicacy of its direction (shifting seamlessly between courtship and bitterness, between black-and-white and color) and especially for the beautiful performances of Huppert and Greggory: she the queen for 30 years of serious French film, he the stage actor proving he knows how to pitch an emotion so the camera just catches it.

...Fish oil is the best source of two long-chain essential fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)--the omega-3 fats we hear so much about. Essential in this context means our body cannot synthesize them, so we must get them from food or supplements. Food is usually preferable to supplements, but in this case fish oil, in capsule or liquid form, may be a better source than the fish that produce it because it is purified to be free of mercury and organic toxins. I have long recommended that people consume one to two grams...

Walnuts, flaxseed and other vegetarian sources of omega-3 do not provide EPA and DHA but rather a precursor (alpha-linolenic acid) that the body must convert. This conversion is inefficient at best and often inhibited by high intake of the fats common in processed and fast food...
