Peace

What is peace? Too many people see peace as a vehicle for piece - their way of getting in on the action. The current scene is everybody panic over lack of dollars to float the boat. The only way that we can get along is by giving up the idea that everybody has to think the same thoughts in the same way. Chill howdt! A diversity of approach might give us a shot at solving a few critical problems. At this point, rather than playing war games over national security, we should be looking at food security. Or lack of it. What happens when food is too costly to ship halfway around the world? Can we rely on local agriculture?

Our need is to focus internal rather than external. I'd rather export millet than bullets. The earth changes are happening, so we had better get used to creating new means of local community support structure. Strawjet is a building material based on waste fiber - the wave of the future is converting your waste into somebody else's raw material. Building soil is very necessary. Building community is even more necessary. The time has come to hitch up the mule and get the goats bred. Money is tight at all levels and the stress level is getting higher by the day. All we are saying, is give peace a chance.

or Boom, Boom - howdt go the lights!
