I Quote Keith Addition's reply to Mike here as I think this needs some more discussion,
Keith says "Sure, if you want to play the game their way. Losing game though, that's not how biofuels wins. Three rules: local, local and local. " I think that statement is really key to more than Biofuels, No single person changes a world that is not ready to change or vulnerable to a fear of a worse evil. So change only happens when people are ready for it or when they change directions due to the fear of an unknown. We are all afraid of the unknown. When we hear of something that is being done in the outside or the big out yonder we have an interest but little more than that. I heard about Biodiesel and it was interesting but I feared it was beyond me and what would the community say about it and thats where I stayed until fuel prices went to 3 bucks then I was ready to change. I found JtF and played around in secret and found out my fears were unfounded. Now as a result of that my little community has changed I have been asked to teach and have formed a small Coop with others. We are getting stronger every day and in a small town that can happen real fast. Now consider if we just learn that if we want change- then change ourselves first. Keep in mind this is just not for Biofuels, If you want to be discouraged try to get the world to change to your way of thinking by joining every group you can and give your bucks in support. If you want to be happy decide what you want to be and be it -despite what others think. It is easy to give that 50 bucks if you have it and think you have done something good but try to give that speech or help do a demonstration to help others with your interests that are your peers. I didn't say it first- but if you believe in it show it - don't be ashamed of it.
