Tell me more about this, Christy. I don't really understand what you are saying in the paragraph above, and, to me, it comes across as uncharacteristically mean spirited.I think we are wishing for an outdated paradigm when we expect to have some top down organizational figure heads baby us through our movement. This is the era of the conciousness soul, the age of individuality. What ever is lacking in the movement is no one fault but our own. Christy
I mean, just what am I to make from that paragraph in the face of, for example, 700 BD farms and 2,000,000 BD ACRES in Australia (within just one BD association!) under exaclty the sort or organization you seem to decry?
Where are you drawing this 'the age of individuality' from? The age of broken relationships, broken homes, broken communities, broken clergy and so on. I guess I read too much Wendell Berry, but I thought the idea of 'age of individuality' and 'maximum personal freedom' were concepts sown in us by the system that finds both democracies and 'free people' easier to control than people who can still access the traditional support relationships of husband/wife, home/neighborhood, church/community, city/county and so on. (It's not wasted on anyone how much the New World Order fears countries organized in explicitly top down arrangements, is it?
