Law, order, and civility represent the problem.  In the past when law, order, 
& civility broke
down, new law, order, & civility were created (the people revolt, a republic 
redistributes wealth;
a dictator seizes power, wealth shifts to a new tyrant; etc).  I am not 
advocating lawlessness,
chaos, and rudeness, either.  To practice what we believe, we must change 
minds, including our
own.  If we look at Permaculture as merely a means to produce food and live 
more sustainably, but
then we still find ourselves going to the store to buy food and paying 
rent/mortgages, we will
have perpetuated the cause of poverty, suffering, and oligarchy.  Sooner or 
later, law, order, &
civility brake down, which opens the door later for coming back to where we 
are today - heading
towards the proverbial cliff - even with Permaculture being dominant for 
awhile.  Empires can
exist from horseback, just as they can from a stealth bomber.
