Governments have insatiable desire to control.

You damned insatiable lecher! Why are you torturing me again?

Chinese workers are not forced into factories because of our insatiable desire for iPods.

But, everywhere around us we have insatiable use for energy because it's so cheap.

See, I'd loved blaming parts of Asia for their insatiable demand for ivory and rhino horn, and the way the region's booming economic growth is dramatically increasing the illegal wildlife trade.

And this engine is not just economic value it is pulling material resources relentlessly through the system, driven by our own insatiable appetites, driven in fact by a sense of anxiety.

And I was always absorbed in a book, science fiction book, which took my mind to other worlds, and satisfied, in a narrative form, this insatiable sense of curiosity that I had.

And this proposal was a reaction to the over saturation of emergent technologies in recent national and world expositions, which feeds, or has been feeding, our insatiable appetite for visual stimulation with an ever greater digital virtuosity.

And it lay precisely in that insatiable curiosity, that irrepressible desire to know, no matter what the subject, no matter what the cost, even at a time when the keepers of the Doomsday Clock are willing to bet even money that the human race won't be around to imagine anything in the year 2100, a scant 93 years from now.

Now, I was taken by inspector Brian Cantera, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, to a cavernous warehouse east of Vancouver to see some of the goods which are regularly confiscated by the RCMP from the smugglers who are sending it, of course, down south to the United States where there is an insatiable market for B.C. Bud, as it's called, in part because it's marketed as organic, which of course goes down very well in California.
