permaculture

[Holger Hieronimi <holger@tierramor.org>]

Wow....

what a discussion...

I understand the emotional charge of the issue, but  since I´m not 
American, nor that heavily inclined to some politized left/ right 
good/bad thinking, I have not a single problem with Scott Pittman giving 
permaculture lectures to the US military....,

from a systemic perspective, this is actually desireable and could be 
interpreted as on syptom of a great change happening somewhere ... or 
even  desesperation (probably more true in the present context), - it 
should become increasingly obvious even to the big leaders, that 
conventional means of solving our problems (which include fighting 
resource wars and all related mess) get ever more inefficient and 
actually don´t work at all-

To the activists worried about the dilusions of permaculture ethics, I 
recommend to remember that the stregth of permaculture is the diversity 
of tools and strategies...  "the opposite is also true" even if it comes 
to these delicate issues as f. ex. the US Military...
