In any case. It was good to read this.

I built a site called hyperlocavore.com to encourage people to grow food with their neighbors, friends and family. I think it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better, and want people to have tools to build real community and support in their neighborhoods.

Thanks for doing what you did.

Seeing so many hurt by the paradigm of whipping those who haven't got anything in the name of newly-discovered fiscal responsibility is overwhelming.

That is exactly what is going to get us through tough times. We are all in this together, the time for greed is past. For those of us who haven't felt it yet, we have to let go of the "stockpiling" for the future mentality in order to help our neighbors who are just trying to make it to tomorrow. <br><br>"What the heck kind of world are we living in where we, the people, bail out banks so they can turn around and show no mercy to anyone else?" - Matt. 18:23-35 Awesome!
