Peter, you are doing something productive by the hobby you are in. I do the same, and also in the carnivorous plant community, where I keep, propagate and trade several endangered species.

So it is, that “limited government” has little to do with the constitution or local autonomy any more; now it means corporate domination and the shifting of risk from government and business to struggling families and workers. “Family values” now means imposing a sectarian definition on everyone else. “Religious freedom” now means majoritarianism and public benefits for organized religion without any public burdens. And “patriotism” now means blind support for failed leaders. It’s what happens when an interlocking media system filters, through commercial values or ideology, the information and moral viewpoints that people consume in their daily lives.

So if we need to know what is happening, and big media won’t tell us; if we need to know why it matters, and big media won’t tell us; if we need to know what to do about it, and big media won’t tell us – it’s clear what we have to do: we have to tell the story ourselves.

We’ve got to get alternative content out there to people or this country’s going to die of too many lies.

It goes on one at a time,
it starts when you care
to act, it starts when you do
it again after they said no,
it starts when you say We
and know who you mean, and each
day you mean one more.

Smithsonian scientists researching environmental problems are discovering ways the damage, to the Earth, that has and is being done can be restored and regulated. Traditional knowledge of the Earth is based on thousands of years experience and can not be left out of the formula for environmental management. There is so much we can learn from indigenous peoples and as scientists devise plans for regulation and restoration, traditional knowledge provides guidance and solutions.
