permaculture

[Sean Maley <semaley@yahoo.com>]

FWIW, I did not interpret "...Permaculture ought to..., instead of ..." as 
stating what has been advocated, but rather recommending that we avoid 
something (what he feels we should be doing, set apart from what he feels we 
shouldn't).  I suspect everyone agrees with everyone else, but disagrees on 
how it ought to be expressed.  How did the Tao Te Ching begin?

My comment was a reflection on what looked to me 
like an inaccurate judgment on the permaculture 
movement.  The permaculture movement does not 
advocate "sinking all of our energies into growing 
food for ourselves".  I have been reading this 
discussion for a while, and I haven't noticed 
anyone advocating that here either.   So I don't 
know where he got this idea.

No.
