Homestead mailing list

Yes, some might be reminded. But how many who get the 
message will give in to their children's pleadings to take 
WALL-E home? Disney may be giving civilization a wake up 
call, but is obviously capitalizing on the trend of what's 
on everyone's mind of late. Until advertisers stop 
targeting children, and responsible consumerism is taught 
in schools as part of ecology I don't know when the cycle 
will be broken, exept when we squeeze the last bit of oil 
from the Earth.

I read Wendell Berry's article that Don sent a link to 
this morning about limitless behaviours and thought it was 
very good. As a whole, homesteaders know a lot about 
working within the limitations of a system and see the 
direct connection between personal responsibility and 
outcome. It's admirable but difficult to find the positive 
in much of what's happening today. It depresses me 
greatly. However, among the most positive and uplifting is 
living the homesteading life.

The other is we just got 2 inches of rain!
