permaculture

["E. E. Mitchamore Jr" <emitch@att.net>]

Useful philosophy, but it often comes down to whether you will shoot your 
hungry neighbor to protect your own family.  This happens daily in other 
countries, and could happen here if things go as many of us expect.  It may 
soon be more than a philosophical discussion.

  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.
