Re: *sigh*

rant continuing...
"...suggest restructuring of society will be necessary as well..."

this is as a good a place as any to start a structure within a structure... a sort of system of communes that trade/barter amoungst themselves...
like grzbear said... "Everyone should be learning about their native plants... EVERY part of this earth is covered with native medicinal plants... the answer is in our back yards. What plants are native to your areas? What grows wild? What bears fruit. Food is everywhere, not just the grocery store. "

where i live, burdock & thistle grows in abundance... i'm sure there is countless other herbs that i am not aware of that is everywhere...

the writing is obvious on the wall... just start moving in the direction that makes good sense...
