permaculture

[jamesdavid Sneed <harvestcircle@hotmail.com>]

I agree, and unfortunately humans have a tendency for hubris, the assumption 
that they have deity-like powers, in this case thinking that they have the 
brain power to design technology to un-screw-up the mistakes from the last 
set of technologies that were going to save the world. Maybe if folks just 
spent time planting seed by hand, and gently cultivating the earth by hand, 
they would begin to get the message the earth offers them along with so much 
Abundance.
