My response would be the same, Udhay. It's not humbug for the person who wrote that, but it's not a sensible list in another country, another set of living circumstances. The "Bah" is aimed at the assumption that what works for the author would work everywhere...that "Eureka, I Have Found The Solution" tone of the piece. The Archimedes needs to immerse hes-self in a bath of reality in other places, too. I am beginning to dislke the jargon of bleeding-heart conservationism. Resilient Community! Sustainability! Eco-tourism! Green...here's a super-clever claim on a bottle of water... http://deponti.livejournal.com/670747.html Bah.Gah. Pah!
