I don't get your point - my whole essay was 'fingerpointing' in that it was a 
critique of 
economic systems that ignore the realities of reproductive economics - i.e. 
capitalism.

The value of this critique is that understanding the nature of reproductive 
economics points the 
way towards creating alternatives. 

I have noticed that you are very defensive when it comes to any critical 
mention of the role of 
the USA in this list. Your patriotism does you proud I'm sure, but it surely 
begs the question - 
how can one discuss the sustainable and practical courses of action without 
understanding 
the impact of the most powerful government in the world which is consciously 
intent upon 
destroying sustainable agriculture through it's addiction to fossil fuels, 
greed and war?
