SW..... If only! Thanks for your support but I notice that you post anonymously as do I, so no, I'm not going to expose my supporters to scrutiny before they even get anything up and running. Let's just say that credibility is not an issue. There's other exciting potential pilot programs happening but also too soon to brag about.
TomK.... Modern conveniences are a powerful addiction but maybe even more ill advised in the coming years than they have been in the past. If one lacks first hand experience working the land, doing anything mechanical, (other than rebooting one's computer), it's hard to see the importance of it all, but may end up putting one at a burdensome disadvantage. The sad part is we live somewhere where we are able to do all these things, fairly unimpeded and many don't value the ability. But make no mistake we are dependent on a way of life that may disappear for a while. Put your feelings of being stereotyped aside and learn how to be of service to yourself and others so that you have something to barter with. By "Straw Man argument" you appear to imply some motive other than what the words say. Truly it is your loss. This ROD blight is happening concurrently with others worldwide, we can only expect to see more in this warming climate. Monoculture food crops are fragile, soils may be completely depleted worldwide in 60 years, fuel sources under siege. Baton down your hatches, stock your stores, grow your gardens, feed your trees, educate your kids....unnerving times, these.
