The author of that conserver economics thing will not gain converts if he
keeps using as examples of right living communities--I forget the name of
the one in Europe he presented as wonderful--that on their Web sites give
explicit directions for rolling joints of hash. If alternative is to become
mainstream, you have to be credible to the mainstream.
