Very interesting insights here. I like the idea of Bio-Char as a soil enhancer.John Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492900180819129920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024955889759249523.post-84515192856585769162009-08-24T02:29:04.285+01:002009-08-24T02:29:04.285+01:00You wrote once in response to an article I wrote o...You wrote once in response to an article I wrote on Argentina that you feared the effects of a global collapse would have. This echoes my sentiments based upon the current global population and distribution of wealth/allocation of resources.<br /><br />My stance is not political, religious or even pure philosophical, but more humanitarian. The implications of a continued and protracted deleveraging could be disastrous in ways that essays such as this one cannot do justice. Already nations such as Haiti have reported rioting while African countries like Nigeria teeter on the brink of complete continental demise of food security.<br /><br />I understand that ideology typically guides policy just as economics tend to dictate everything down to family dynamics, but but BUT but, I wish we could all highlight potential solutions to problems (such as Bio-Char as a soil enhancer) and look at our common denominators (such as our being human beings all inhabiting the same miraculous planet) rather than dividing, disempowering and by extension weakening ourselves and each other even further.<br /><br />Nature may, indeed, find it's own unique way to restore equilibrium but I would like to think that our species can learn a little more balance without all the threats and incentives.<br /><br />I guess I will always believe we all have within us the ability to do the right things simply because they are the right things to do, and be perfectly content with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
