Woh!  What is up with that title.  I know we have a lot of strong political views in Permaculture.  And of all stripes, liberals, conservatives and a lot of libertarians.  And many who have been in the movement a very long time are quite proud of what ever political stripe they have. So does this question make sense?  I think that it does, and I think it leads many to start practicing anarchism without even knowing it or realizing it. Understand there are two real types of anarchism at the individual level.  I call these philosophical and action based.  Strangely … Continue reading →

I am getting an extremely late start today due to the new ducks arriving and a family emergency, so it is going to be a simple chat with Jack episode today. Last night I listened to the republican debates, not really sure why, guess I felt I deserved some sort of punishment.  What I heard was mostly a bunch of people not actually answer any of the questions, say how great they were, explain why the other people sucked, and so on. When issues were discussed I sat with dismay at how clearly none of these people seem to comprehend … Continue reading →
