Thanks for this, good insight to remember; sometimes intentional
communities starting from "scratch" seem to encounter similar
challenges of being a "monoculture" in one aspect or another (age,
experieces, background, etc.).  Looks like monoculture doesn't work for
us humans any better than for other plants and critters...but we keep
heading that way anyhow... :-o
