European Tribune

Display:
I really enjoyed the read, I love the idea of a blog becoming so huge that within it entire blogs can survive and thrive--making their connections across the threads while the big noises up top huff and puff...

But I never go to daily kos so I'm appreciating the ET spin off!

You asked the question so:

# rediscovering rural development in the Arc of the Sun

Definitely yes.  The US seems to be moving rapidly ahead in this, maybe because there is a lot of land around still; maybe because all y'all (see, I learn!)--but hey!  You're in Australia, did I get that right?  (And yeah with the qualifiers!)  I think clearly successful projects with a "what we learned" attached are blueprints for other communities; and I want lots of wonderful people growing food and building renewable energy sources and (for me funky please!) houses that grow with the surrounding land rather than being brick houses plonked on top!

(I would love to read margouillat on the subject of "green housing" for example!  To give it a european perspective.)

Not the Bazaar, wich is a variant of what we have, but more of the Karwan Saray or Caravanserai... :-)
I have a difficult end of the week and beginning of the other with tons of jurys and crying students... :-)

But you're right, this is important...!

(Now, why do I shiver each time the word "communities" is used ?) :-)

Communities?  Speuuujuuuit!

You'll have to remind me of your preferred word; I'm a (very very) slow learner!

I don't have problem with words, and I'm used to it here :-)
I just find it funny that we all search for "modernity" in whatever form and still think in "tribes"... <raising eyes to the ceiling>

It relates, of course, with the "cultural barriers" diary :-)

... back in the US in time for the warm up act in 2006 for the current silliness going on in US politics.
