permaculture

[Steve Hart <stevenlawrencehart@gmail.com>]

Hi LL..I do respect your abuse and insults and perhaps lines of questioning
and ridicule. However I interpret slightly differently and look at this
project as simply another design exercise just of different magnitude to
many that we know of. Simon's experiences through life have not been too
dissimilar to many of us I'm sure. All with similar threads just of
different colour and fabric.

Rather than discredit such positive energy I am willing to give it my
positive input to see how far we can take it and see if we can achieve
something out the end. I reiterate, it is positive honest energy not like
some other energies both you and I know of which are negative and dishonest.

If we take the essence of what Simon is alluding to here and extrapolate it
or brainstorm the possible scenarios and consider other projects that could
become integrative we may just have something quite phenomenal emerging on
a global scale rather than sitting in our back yard doing the knitting and
contemplating our navel. For, we are in a time, historically, which does
seriously need a global revolution before we need to be running workshops
or Advanced Design Courses on How To Bend Over And Kiss Our Arses Goodbye

I will be giving it my positive attention and I challenge all others to
consider likewise
