Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["art corbit" <art_c@cox.net>]

Hi Barbara.

The right kind of "Clan" (Different families) living close and working
together for the good of all would be fine and there are a few of those
around but living in the city will not be the place you want to be.

When people have no choice they will do what ever they have to in order to
survive and help their loved ones survive. I hope you are never confronted
with this type situation because if you are you just may do some things you
won't be proud of. Most people will. It's just the animal coming out of us
and nothing more. The truth is we are not as far from the animal kingdom as
we would like to believe.
