Truth be told, you couldn't pay me enough to burn fuel for Louisiana.

First: Bill said, not only that he was retiring after '98, but that he
was "going mythic," which I thought was pretty cool. This has turned
out to be bullshit, and was in retrospect, marketing spin to fill those
courses in '98...'last chance to see Bill!'

Second: Louisiana...I don't think so

Third: simply tired of Bill and Scott's (maybe just Scott's since we
read it from him on this list) old man hierarchical disfunction. It's
like they don't fully understand their own material. Eventually they'll
choose (or have no choice) to de-sphincter their concern for who uses
the term permaculture and for what purposes. Cream will rise and shit
will sink...and then float back up...and will become a new logo for
permaculture.

Fourth: we're mutinous rabble! out with the old, in with the new! As
the vortex spins and sucks, patience ebbs for controlling overlords
laying claim to some sort of medieval monastic academy. Have you ever
heard Uncle Bill rip in to some hapless sap when his patience ebbs?
Well if we're to pay homage to "his" design system, why should we
suffer the same sort of crap he rips to shreds? I for one, won't.

Now, on the other hand, I'm always entertained by Bill, and am as
appreciative of his work as any contemporary scholar. So I encourage
everyone considering a trip to 'weesiana to stack it for during Bill's
visit. Don't forget to PAY the man, and eat some 'possum for me.
