Japan's Silent Anger By RÓNÁN MacDUBHGHAILL
Disenchantment With Nuclear Power
Making a living for ourselves by Dave Pollard (EB)
Until millions of Natural Enterprises exist as models that we can visit and learn from to create our own enterprises, we need extensive programs for online and in-community study and for young people to learn hands-on in secondary school. These programs need to be developed cooperatively with local Natural Enterprises in each community -- because this learning needs to take place in the community, not in the classroom.

Licking inflation the homestead way by Gene Logsdon (EB)
Even when manufacturers purportedly “hold the line” on prices, inflation wins. The hoe you buy today for nearly the same price as the one you bought fifteen years ago will need repair or replacement twice as soon which means that the inflation occurs not only in your wallet but in the increasing height of the landfill. Or, what is very prevalent right now, the manufacturer holds the line on the price, but when you check the package, it holds somewhat less than it did previously.
The ELP Plan: Economize; localize & produce by Jeffery Brown (EB)
I have been advising anyone who would listen to voluntarily cut back on their consumption, based on the premise that we were probably headed, in a post-Peak Oil environment, for a prolonged period of deflation in the auto/housing/finance sectors and inflation in food and energy prices.
