Kate Smith

Many citizens see all the leadership of these large institutions together in a conspiracy against them rather than in any adversary relationship with each other.
Robert Teeter

Manufacturing takes place in very large facilities. If you want to build a computer chip, you need a giant semiconductor fabrication facility. But nature can grow complex molecular machines using nothing more than a plant.
