permaculture

[paul wheaton <paul@richsoil.com>]

I think there are many schools of thought under the permaculture umbrella.

I have noticed an interesting trend:  some of the people that seem to
be powerfully vocal about the evils of getting paid for permaculture
stuff, seem to be the folks that are making the most money with
permaculture stuff.  And the folks that seem to say "there is nothing
wrong with making money with permaculture" seem to be giving the most
stuff away.

A kind of comedy I suppose.

I hope that soon, all food everywhere will be permaculture food and
monsanto dries up and blows away because nobody will give them money.
And, along the way, cancer and other illnesses fade away to be mostly
history and not modern reality.

I hope that some day, ag studies will be about which types of
polyculture result in the healthiest foods.

I relish the idea of a farmer telling the story about how he made more
money on one acre of permaculture than the other 199 acres combined,
so he is now switching all of his land over to permaculture.

I enjoy hearing the stories of the many permaculture artisans.  I get
bummed out when a few permaculture "experts" attempt to use a baseball
bat with the word "permaculture" written on it to make sure there is
only one way to do permaculture.  Harsh.

Artisans.  Permaculture artisans.  I like that.  We all have a
different canvas that we work on, and some like vegan approaches and
some like stuff with lots of aquaculture.  And where would art be
without an angry coot somewhere yelling "real permaculture is done
only with BLUE paint!"

Comedy.
