The difference between a physician and a quack is this - a physician knows and admits that his powers are limited. He can aid nature.
He can help her remove obstruction and clear away abnormal growth; but he cannot recreate a broken constitution, or make a
perforated a lung do the work of a sound one. But a quack with his pills, and his plasters, and his potions, will undertake to cure all the
ills that flesh is heir to. In like manner the genuine reformer knows that the living law is the thought of the people, and that all Parliament
can do is to fit thought to the life of the nation. It is not so much speed in legislation that is wanted, as still. It is not quantity, but quality,
that is required. The highest interests of the State would often be better served by the wise and liberal administration of old laws than by
high pressure production of new and imperfect one. Obstruction or no obstruction, necessary legislation will come in due time if people
want it. Free speech is more precious than all the measures in the ministerial portfolio. Error of opinion may be tolerated as long as
there is the right to combat it. Discussion is a bulwark against oppression, and the sheet-anchor of liberty.

Each of us has locked within us all that is necessary to achieve wealth and greatness. It's merely a matter of learning to use these
hidden assets, of investing them so to speak, so we can cash in on them. The tragic thing is that so many go through life without ever
putting them to use. Sometimes, trouble and adversity is necessa1y to make people use their resourcefulness and brain power to
achieve success. A book keeper lost his job as Christmas was approaching. He had no money to buy his 10 year old son a gift. Instead
of merely despairing, he went to work making the boy a gift. Using two wheels from a discarded baby carriage a few pieces of lumbar
from the basement, and some bright red paint he constructed a toy that captured the attention of the entire neighbourhood. Other
children wanted similar toys. The demand grew so fast that the unemployed book keeper turned his basement into a factory, then
moved his production to a real industrial plant. The toy the book keeper designed was called the 'Scooter'. Have you searched carefully
for any 'hidden' resources you've overlooked simply because they weren't in some form you could bank immediately? Have you some
plan or idea which might prove of great value if you brought it into the open and put it to use? Somewhere you have unused assets. Put
them to work for you and make yourself financially independent.

Leading investors have joined the growing chorus about governments and companies rusting into producing biofuels as a solution for
global warming saying that many involved in the sector could be jeopardising future profits if they do not consider the long-term impact
of what they are doing carefully.
It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain of the green fuel project in order to ensure that there is no adverse
effect on the surrounding environment and social structures. The report produced by the investors expresses concern that many
companies may not be fully aware of the potential pitfalls in the biofuel sector.
Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels but
environmental and human rights campaigners are worried that this will lead to destruction of rain forests. Food prices could also go up
as there is increased competition for crops as both food stuff and sources of fuel. Last week the UN warned that biofuels could have
dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage
environment or cause civil unrest. There is already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an
important biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to create palm oil plantations.
An analyst and author of investors' report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate change but they can play their part as long as
governments and companies manage the social and environmental impacts thoroughly. There should also be greater measure taken to
increase efficiency and to reduce demand.
196. Who are not happy about rushing into producing biofuels?
