Oops, where did I say I thought help would come from the government? Why you can't even get a good civil liberities attorney in this country anymore. Used to could find one or two on college campus' around DU and CU. The government has truly outgrown its purpose, out of control are some of the employees and worst of all, the general public either does not care, does not involve them (let the cops do their job is what they think they are promoting), too young to understand or be informed. Yes, I believe the potential for disaster and distruction can always be overcome. Timing is everything, attitude makes it all work. Most Americans don't know how to conserve, nor do they have respect for nature. They have to conquer, control, capture. In just a little over 200 years the white man (or whoever? non-natives came along) has accomplished to rid America of Her Native Children, the Buffalo and the middle class family (that was created here, in the USA). California has always acted so uptidy, rich, leaders in American dreams. So, why did they run out of power last year. What are the plans this year? Where do you fit in the revolution? Mine is "Roadside Revolution" with BetheeJaymes and TheHoleInTheHead Gang. We have a Red Dawn plan but also peaceful resolutions to for today's delima's and tomorrow and the next day and so on. My family has four generations living in Apache Junction, and still growing. I am teaching my grandchilren how to garden, and my daughter how to can/preserve. I am anxious to read your book. Sincerely, Bethee

It's a good book, and although C_O keeps harassing me because I haven't finished reading it, he does correctly identify the problem and proposes a radical solution.
The problem, as I see it, is that the powerful vested interests like the current system and will fight to protect it. I guess I'll have to finish the book to find out how he proposes to get around that problem.

"So, why did they run out of power last year." This is off subject, and I do not wish to hijack this thread, but...
The untold truth is that we didn't run out of power last year!
It was all hype in an abortive attempt by our socialist governor Gray-out Doofus to have a government take-over of the power industry. - Check the records, and you will find that there was not one single day where power demand exceeded supply; but in order to have black-outs, 'rolling' blackouts were instituted when reserves reached 3%. - That's the facts, Mam.
