“The Trained Dog Ethic, first advanced by Barton George Dawes in late 1973, fully explains such mysteries as the monetary crisis, inflation, the Viet Nam war, and the current energy crises. Let us take the energy crisis as an example. The American people are the trained dogs, trained in this case to love oily-guzzling toys. Cars, snowmobiles, large boats, dune buggies, motorcycles, mini-cycles, campers, and many, many more. In the years 1973 to 1980 we will be trained to hate energy toys. The American people love to be trained. Training makes them wag their tails. Use energy. Don’t use energy. Go pee on the newspaper. I don’t object to saving energy. I object to training.”
