| pennies it costs to buy your starter stock, if they | | | | most will work toward improving social contracts |
| are not readily available for free. The profitable | | | | at the local level and choose interdependence. We |
| organic food producer raises them in controlled | | | | can more readily depend on others when we |

| worm farm - ranch grows in size, you have more | | | | old order and its new replacement. As we gain |
| and more to add to new garden beds and tree | | | | independence in our basic life needs, we gain |
| holes. Plant quality and crop volumes sky rockets, | | | | spiritual enlightenment we can share with others, |
| requiring mechanical supports.There is money | | | | near and far. We become enabled, then |

| of worms of interest to the gardener. Common | | | | lover economics. We know people often profit |
| earthworms as you may have in your yard, | | | | from crisis. Maybe it is our turn to be the ones to |
| make permanent tunnels and go as deep as two | | | | profit, at the same time we reduce the |
| feet. We definitely want lots of them around our | | | | consequences of corporate dominion throughout |
| plants. Redworms do not make permanent | | | | the world. The corporate world needs the crises it |
| tunnels, like living in rotting manure and garbage | | | | creates to maintain power. The corporate world |

| eat vegetarian manures and just about any plant | | | | increases your numbers, it is so much easier to |
| materials. They reproduce faster than common | | | | love your enemy.Just as terrorists use the |
| earthworms and can be raised indoors for | | | | Western money lover establishment to their own |

| produce sections will be pointless. Superfood will | | | | can have it, if we want it. When enough of us |
| have the markets sewed up. Corporate farmers | | | | have had our fill of restriction, repression and |
| throw in the towel or specialize in non food crops. | | | | corporate fantasy, we will create a very different |
| Old, depleted land comes onto the market for real | | | | world. Or, maybe we'll just leave it to the |

| Wouldn't this help reduce carbon dioxide levels and | | | | don't need the violence and we have a practical |
| reduce the greenhouse effect? It starts in my | | | | alternative. What is your alternative? "Come out |

| about costs and how we can do more at lower | | | | suffering, we know in our hearts there has to be |
| cost. This creates models for the rest of the | | | | a better way. It has long been my desire to |
