permaculture

[Annie Pollock <anniepollock@tiscali.co.uk>]

Lawrence, I think Patrick's researched and informed post (issue 34, 
message 4) spells out clearly why people have genuine concerns and are 
neither unfair and paranoid nor are they fearmongering for expressing 
them. Ethical concerns cannot be dismissed so easily by anyone 
practising the art of listening. It can be a positive to say no 
sometimes! and not just agree to anything because you have a passion for 
the subject, in this case spreading the ideas of permaculture.
  And thank you Patrick, for putting so beautifully the real issues 
here. I hope people are able to reflect even for a moment on what you 
have written.
