Arrogance and power are largely synonyms these days, and most of power is numbers no matter what your anointed political or cultural beliefs. Its all somewhat surreal to watch people react to a self created crisis in the institutional environment without seeing any connection to the real environment. History tells us expedience rules decision making in these times, the very thing that feeds failure particularly where self reliance and sustainability are concerned. When you go to the city people will tell you money grows on trees which are fertilized by faith in markets and social systems, in the country people will tell you its a good time to put up fences and buy dogs to keep the city people away from nature where they can't mess it up like a city. Not sure anyone realizes how this will play out, but everyone has a guess. My guess is until people figure out their place in nature or show some willingness to do so, the institutions will continue to erode. What small farmers , permaculturists, and responsible land use advocates have been saying for years about needing a willing and educated relationship with the urban self appointed center still really boils down to the urban center giving up its self-image and delusions. Only then do I expect serious exchange and education to begin. I do know this though, nature won't hold its breath to find out our plans, something to take solace in. --- On Thu, 3/5/09, bruce smith <cityhomesteader@gmail.com> wrote: From: bruce smith <cityhomesteader@gmail.com> |
