More From Jonathan Sacks

We need to employ a secular approach to ethics, secular in the indian sense of respecting all religious traditions and even the views of non-believers in an unbiased way. secular ethics rooted in scientific findings, common experience and common sense can easily be introduced into the secular education system. if we can do that there is a real prospect of making this 21st century an era of peace and compassion.
Religious Real Compassion
Wherever snow falls, or water flows, or birds fly, wherever day and night meet in twilight, wherever the blue heaven is hung by clouds, or sown with stars, wherever are forms with transparent boundaries, wherever are outlets into celestial space, wherever is danger, and awe, and love, there is beauty, plenteous as rain, shed for thee, and though thou shouldest walk the world over, thou shalt not be able to find a condition inopportune or ignoble.

When people who earn more than the average have their 'surplus', or the greater part of it, seized from them in taxes, and when people who earn less than average have the deficiency , or the greater part of it, turned over to them in hand-outs and doles, the production of all must sharply decline; for the energetic and able who lose their incentive to produce more than the average, and the slothful and unskilled lose their incentive to improve their condition.

The further limits of our being plunge, it seems to me, into an altogether other dimension of existence from the sensible and merely understandable world. name it the mystical region, or the supernatural region, whichever you choose. so far as our ideal impulses originate in this region (and most of them do originate in it, for we find them possessing us in a way for which we cannot articulately account), we belong to it in a more intimate sense than that in which we belong to the visible world, for we belong in the most intimate sense wherever our ideals belong.

There are some people who get money just because they've got large families. so if it pays to make large families and earn more money than you would earn out at work, why not have more families, larger families? that's wrong.
People Why Not Pay
In 2003, at the time i made my "old europe" comment, the center of gravity in nato and europe had long since shifted to the east. with the former warsaw pact countries joining nato, the alliance has a different mix today. some people were sensitive about my comment because they thought it was a pejorative way of highlighting demographic realities. apparently they felt it pointed a white light at a weakness in europe - an aging population. europe has come some distance since world war ii in becoming europe.

It [the pharmaceutical industry] is the most profitable industry in the world, and partially funds the us government. it surpasses oil in terms of profits and my country recently went to war due to oil pricing. what does that say they will do to keep this other industry in tact? it is up to patients and their families to question what they are being given, and to consumers to demand better, more natural alternatives.

The major difference for us in america with respect to hispanic immigration is that it is so large and that it is coming from neighboring countries rather than those countries off the atlantic or pacific. that creates different issues and different problems for us as compared to the past. it is still very different, however, from the situation in europe where we see people with a very different non-european religion coming from neighboring countries.
