There is a Edible Landscape newsletter i've been following
for a few months. It is pretty basic most of the time.

Gene, i didn't look closely at the "conserver" economics (i
tend to hide when political structures including economics
are discussed) Clearly, we need structures and they impact
agriculture and most of our ecology problems. At the same
time all the various political systems seem to have troubles
if the people turn their back and give up responsibility.
This suggests to me that education and freedom of information
are the base we need to build on. Old ideas to be sure, but
few people seem to understand or believe in them. I saw an
interview with Bush when he was claiming to be the
"education" president and it scared me. He did not know much
about the subject. Clinton rode into politics using the
education issue and thinks money is the answer... Guess, i'm
justifying a distaste for socio-economic theory and suggesting
it is our education, ethics, and information systems that wag
the dog.

Good article.
I see Jay has a free newsletter called "Brain Food News"
which is available by clicking HOME at the top of the oil
essay. I tried it for awhile but found it too pessimistic
for my tastes.
