"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

So today I crashed the last meeting of this year's Washington Health Policy Institute at George Mason University, where a whole bunch of interesting and passionate nurses get together and talk about how hard health policy blows and how to change it. We heard great speeches from ultra-cool Sheila Burke, who was chief of staff under Bob Dole, and long-term care/evidence-based research advocate Robyn Stone. Both have had fascinating and varied lives, and show the power that nurses' practical experience can have in shaping realistic and coherent healthcare policy. It was pretty inspiring stuff.
