2 " Cost-efficiency needs some honest reflection. If cost-efficiency compares with its analog in physics—output equals input less friction—then the most efficient, or profitable, system eliminates the most friction; move fast through the “tube” into the gas chamber. Stangl, too, had to give the most bang for the buck. Because every exchange is always a relationship, to get the most while giving the least is unjust, unethical, antisocial, abusive, perhaps “evil.” Yet predatory commerce (“the free market” as it is euphemistically called) operates regularly on the principle of “get the most and pay the least.” Predatory commerce differs from Treblinka only in degree, not in principle.

5 " Instead of the old punishing puritanical moralisms about dropping litter on the street, we need a new and enjoyable animism that children would be the first to understand. “Don’t throw that candy wrapper on the street”—not because it’s dirty or bad manners; not because it’s wrong; not because “what if everybody did that?”—but instead “because your candy wrapper doesn’t want to lie around in the gutter or be stepped on; it wants to be in the trash basket along with all its friends.” When things are not properly buried, cremated or composted, could their souls remain as haunting and poisoning ghosts endangering the community, especially the most vulnerable, the children? Pollution is not only chemical and radioactive. There is psychological pollution, too. "
