...gone wrong. We were great for a while, then we got too big and now we're eating up everything, and ultimately we're going to undermine ourselves, and the end is going to be agonizing. He said, "If we stopped having babies now, every decade as there were fewer people left, the world would become wilder and more beautiful." I realized that's kind of what my book is about, the world would heal if we weren't here. But at the same time, hearing him put it that way reinforced what my impetus for writing the book...
...seats in parliament, and they are legally allowed to find jobs outside the home. Foreign donors and nongovernmental organizations have expended a great deal of energy and capital on building women's centers and conducting gender-awareness workshops.

But the new U.N. total rose significantly above the most widely cited running tally by Iraq Body Count, a human rights group that puts the number between 80,000 to 87,000 from the start of the war until...
...sure that they give you all the information you need. So you know, on both counts from both states, what I look at is the final result, I look at the parts of the states that I did well. You know, I came out of Iowa with only one fewer delegate than Senator Obama, so despite what was written up as this win, which it was obviously on numbers, in terms of what matters and in delegate counts, it was, you know, neck and neck. And in New Hampshire it was a close race. But this time I came...
