In the Spirit of Lewis & Clark. Interview with Andrea Laliberte, earthmetrics.com by Willi Paul, Permaculture Exchange http://planetshifter.com/node/2004 – exceprt – “The real advantage of using a GIS is when you want to work with topography or produce topography-derived datasets such as slope, aspect, hill shade models or stream networks. These datasets can still be produced on a smaller site, but in many cases, the available free data are too coarse to produce good topography and more detailed survey data are needed. One free GIS package I use is Quantum GIS, … Continued

Unleashing the Collective Genius of San Francisco.  Interview with Beverly Pitzer, TransitionSF  by Willi Paul, Permaculture Exchange   – excerpt – “Personally, I don’t see competition really playing a role in this movement. For this global experiment to work, we need cooperation and lots of it. Competition and a built in sense of scarcity have been the basis of our economy for a long time.

St. Paul and May 1

Posted by

By my understanding, the St.Paul principles call for a separation in time and space of diverse tactics. How can one know, or reasonably expect,  that such separation has been agreed to by the black bloc?  Or, to raise this another way, will  OO attempt to create such separation?  I found it curious that  the announcements of no shields, no masks, etc. for the Pacific Steel Workers march have not led us to realize that such protection should also be extended to children, seniors, non-documented protesters, etc, in every march.
