Paul,
This list and your work and other great people here have been
amazingly resourceful to us as we strive to live food self-reliance.
Thank you all.
Everyone's efforts here to introduce others to the benefits of
good agricultural practices seems appropriate. It's a start. And, yes
networking where we are is helpful until which time people need for their
relationships and intentions to be more then that.
Maybe the world's economies will collapse and it will make sense to
everyone to get back to the land living life simply and sustainably in
cooperative effort with like minded others, a collapse and personal choices that
seem to be unfolding today. That's what many did during the Great Depression in
the 30's. Too bad for many that the family farm is a rarity today.
But for now no one really needs anyone else as our present cultural systems
makes it possible for us to live independently of one another, and we do
well without any need for cooperative efforts as long as those
systems remain functional. And for now "networking" seems to be an
appropriate form of organizing. However, we often wonder how bad things need to
get before we all see that our present cultural systems are defective and
must be re-envisioned?
A recession is when your neighbor loses his job and home...a depression is
when you lose yours.
