will not find a END FOR OUR NATION OR A PERSONAL SATISFACTION BUT IN PURSUIT OF ECONOMIC WELL-BEING, in the cluster ENDLESS worldly goods. We can not measure NATIONAL SPIRIT-BASED INDEX DOW JONES OR THE SUCCESS OF THE COUNTRY ON THE BASIS OF THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP). GDP INCLUDES THE AIR POLLUTION AND PUBLICITY 'for cigarettes, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage of the weekend. PLACES IN THE GDP counts special locks for our doors HOUSE, AND PRISONS FOR THOSE who break them, includes destruction of the Sequoia, LOSS OF OUR NATURAL WONDERS AND reckless, GROWS WITH THE PRODUCTION OF NAPALM, MISSILES and nuclear warheads, INCLUDES THE SEARCH FOR IMPROVING THE DISSEMINATION of bubonic plague, increases with the crews that the police to quell U.S. THE FACE, AND THAT DOES NOT INCREASE WHEN THE ASHES ARE REBUILDING THEIR POPULAR slums. INCLUDES TELEVISION PROGRAMS THAT ENHANCE THE VIOLENT VIOLENCE TO SELL PRODUCTS TO OUR CHILDREN. The GDP DISREGARDS the health of our families, the quality 'of their education or the joy of their play. NOT include the beauty of our poetry or the strength 'family values, the intelligence of our debate OL'ONESTA' AMBITIONS OF OUR GOVERNMENT. The GDP measures neither our wit, or courage, neither our wisdom, nor knowledge, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our COUNTRY. Measures everything, in short, except that 'makes life REALLY Worth living. CAN 'tell us everything about BUT NOT IF WE CAN BE PROUD TO BE AMERICANS.
