Reconstructing the Grange

As the uberstructure collapses, the time has come to start building an alternative infrastructure. The Grange is an organization that already exists to support husbandry of the land. While many people take this to mean animals, plant husbandry has been around since the time of Gregor Mendel.

Dr. Lenny was elected Monday to be a representative to the Oregon Grange Convention in Roseburg next week. My goal is to support a Grange Renaissance by creating a location where people can come together to build community. We are going to have to meet our own needs in area like clothing, educating, feeding and entertaining ourselves locally - the Grange offers meeting halls, kitchens and opportunity.

The Grange also offers history. We are a self-sufficient group that is looking for responsible people to lead the change of lifestyle. As peak oil leaks into the gulf, and bailouts to the connected few foreclose on the American lifestyle, we need to come together to act locally while thinking globally. Join your local Grange to meet good people that wish to do great things within their home communities.

PS - Dr. Lenny joined the Grange in January : after a year of checking them howdt. Only you can make it really work for you. I will make it work for me. Good people, good philosophy.
