Robert Kennedy, 1968‘The Gross National Product counts air pollution and
cigarette advertising, and … the destruction of the redwood
and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl… Yet
[it] does not allow for the health of our children, the quality
of their education, or the joy of their play… the beauty of
our poetry or the strength of our marriages… it measures
everything, in short, except that which makes life
worthwhile.’
