you sure got that darn thing right, loren (to exercise one of my
texanisms ;o) - pc is applied common sense - pc is about useful
connections and constructive interactions - and pc is about
subsistence, which is a local/regional phenomenon - so anyone
labeling themselves 'permaculturist' and does not have at least
basic social skills and the ability to apply common sense is a
fake in my eyes. so yes, 'supposed to be...'
