Useful Links, Topics for Discussion

Below are some links I find interesting and useful, as well as short descriptions about each of them. Check them out!

http://www.fooddemocracynow.org/ (Sign petition for Obama's Sec. of Agriculture choice...).

http://diginthedirt.wordpress.com/ (Thought provoking articles, good resources for the sustainably minded).

http://communalistmanifesto.typepad.com/communalist_manifesto/ (Another blog like mine).

http://www.yurts.com/ (Look at yurts made in the NW, good options)

http://tryonfarm.org/share/taxonomy/term/3 (Tryon is a sustainable community that works! I'm planning to visit, maybe in the spring. I don't like the publicity their farm gets, but there are things I do like. And why not learn from others' successes/ mistakes, and adjust accordingly?!)

And on and on... There are many, many more sites out there. This is just a start. Feel free to add good ones to the comments on this page. It will be a good resource page, as well as some jumping-off places for discussion. I'm going to also list some topics I'd like to discuss here. This will be useful to me, as I post new blogs, and will hopefully be useful to others as well.

Topics for Discussion:
-Totalitarian agriculture
-Humanity needing a whole community. (To fulfill different needs through different people, as opposed to expecting one or even a few people to fulfill all needs).
-Humans as a part of nature
-Humans as the final step of evolution?
-Education (teaching children, and adults, the things they need for survival/ enlightenment, as opposed to meaningless time wasting education.)
-Laws as arbitrary creations instead of evolved standards of behavior for a specific group of people
-Money (The trap. We all need strive for it to some degree in current society, and we become slaves to meaningless jobs, debt, etc...)
-Is the way humanity is living working?
-Vegetarianism (When eating meat is justified...).

*I'll add to this list along the way.
