The world appears weird at times and with all the world tensions
and political noise it makes me want to hide in a hole. This
feeling was re-enforced today when i did a web search on
the words "self reliance". What i found was several essays
on why self-reliance is a bad idea.

I found a person saying self-reliance is more weapons factories.

I found several communist sites (N. Korea, China) calling for
more individual self reliance. Huh?
I didn't find any mention of the book "Self Reliance" by John
Yeoman. I didn't find any comments on his latest article
about eating grass. Here we have a world starving and they
don't know about Yeoman's article on eating grass. Maybe some
of the answers are under our feet and we are too busy to look
down? I can see where Yeoman would appear strange to most
people. On the other hand, our cultural practices are
a little insane. So.. do we need more self-reliance and
what is it?
