Being Independent, Making, Growing, Living From Our Own Resources
My vision was of an Australia operating as isolated as possible from the rest of the rotten world, doing our own thing, being independent, making, growing, living from our own resources, and being in control of our own destinies and being able to take care of our own environment at least, and aim for that elusive sustainability, and take a long time to do it slowly and thoughtfully... And Try Hard to do it along the lines that Ted Trainer has done a lot of thinking about, and living it hisself, I went to the Pigface Point place and saw the example, it has so much to grab your interest, water wheels and sun parabolas and a fabulous shed or two, full of things to use for something else...
Build Up A New Society That Might Live On For A Lot Longer Than These Current Holy Market Rat Bags
And we could use all those roads to grow fruit trees for free as Dr Ted says, what a lovely vision to have, just walk outside and consume the natural free fruits and sustenance from nature, nice idea... I wouldn't mind living at low tech, at least you get to do the tech, we'd still have all the knowledge of jobs we hadn't exported away, and then we could build up a new society that might live on for a lot longer than these current Holy Market rat bags...
Control Our Affluence And Use Our Effluents
I'd love to see Canberra adopt a new lifestyle as their search for an identity, they're always wanting to be visited for some reason, at least that would give them a good example to set rather than a set of monuments to the current world of destruction... Instead we're getting land releases for new suburbs and building ridiculous buildings for god knows what... Instead we could set up PermaCulture Producers on those cleared off useless lands, and do static long term living, and control our affluence and use our effluents... Just think what a difference your prospects would be when the Holy Market collapses and nothing arrives anymore, you'd still have something to eat if you'd done it right... Hmmm, better be well-armed in the future, no matter what... Shortages will become like a road rage, you'll have rages all over, and I think I'm having one now...
