  Stressing about the wrong things ?

  I work with peasants. People tell me I am one. Either way,  I don't mind because living close to nature gives you a higher stake in being right in your judgement about real risks on the ground - you learn not just to fear,  but to fear the relevant things. It also increases that sense of wonder Louv's talking about . Can't say i've seen much of that same efficency in the wastemakers invention -Enviromental Assessment processees.They seem to fear or not fear something outside teh square .  
  The poor are still with us - maybe we have only just started to learn why . good on ya grist for keeping the door open to the possibilities, because much of the stress the rural poor suffer is clearly something we can do something about and help hela the land as well  .

  Cum on Yankies cum on , cum on

  Jeremy is right to warn about wasted dollars and token efforts- the first point. I think most of the really important problems to work on over the next generations are in non  western backyards and we need to stop that careless self flagulation, projection (and local empire building) that seems to drive so much effort  to concentrate on more half baked 'solutions' in backyards too close to home .   Help us "bhurley"( well done mate!)  to differentiate the good, the bad and do only the absolutely neccesary; cutting more cleanly is something we can be good at if we set our minds to it!  href="http://cuttingedgeconservation.blogspot.com"]Best intentions[/a
