What a wrongheaded and needlessly offensive thing to say. If you look at any 
of my posts, they are all on philosophical, ethical, and theory-based 
aspects—how to think about and apply permaculture design--and almost never on 
nuts and bolts. And Declan post’s have been almost all been on invisible 
structures. (Actual observation rather than prejudiced pigeonholing would be 
required to notice this, though!)

One more time: I don’t want this list to be a dumping ground for _forwarded_ 
negative articles, petitions, political campaigns, etc, that require 
ridiculous semantic conniptions to tie them to permaculture.  But I welcome 
_original_ thoughts on almost anything that a pemaculturist is thinking about.

I’m delighted with Joao’s last post, where he offers his own thoughts on 
ethics. That’s more like it!
