A friend of mine (Authour of the previous 'biocosmolgy' post) Chris King ( http://www.math.auckland.ac.nz/~king/ ) has it in his head that it only takes 12 focused people, with a good idea backed by nature (ie.Permaculture) to change 20,000 peoples ideas in a very short period of time. I am starting to witness this in the world around me. With no advertising (and at his time NO STOCK!) our little PC nursery has begun to generate great interest.

People are waking up! People here in my little town are becoming more and more aware that the 'government' is NOT our friend, in fact they are out to get us. As it becomes more and more obvious (CODEX, anti-small farm LAWS, having to send our livestock to slaughter 2 Ferry rides and about 9 hours away! etc.) more and more are saying no.
We have had many elderly farmers whom know that we fought the fed's on medpot asking us if we will do the same with these weird new reg's for farmgate sales etc. With a resounding YES! on our part (I love agood fight!) we are gaining momentum and its seems as though it is only a matter of time before we win.
I have a very, very good feeling about the restrictions 'they' are trying to implement. The vancouver area has dozens of supplement companies with hundreds if not thousands of staff. Vancouver also has a healthfood/supplement store on every corner in some neighbourhoods! As 'they' tighten the noose, more people 'get it'. So I say bring it on, the more 'they' try the further they shall fall...
