Preachin' to the choir, baby!
We know the rap - or we wouldn't be on this list. I think the bullshit
about setting up political systems, and complaining about the state of
things in the US, etc., tend to miss a point.
We're leaving all that behind.
I want to know about technology, and architecture. I have a sneaking
suspicion that architecture shapes thinking and communication to such an
extent that proper design can create a default form of government on a
floating city. I also feel that whatever we PICK as the method of
governance, will be in some major way different from what we GET.
Also, to quote that stupid baseball movie, "If you build it, they will
come".

ps - re: monculture crops and such - run permaculture through a search
engine, and if you have access to ANY land, get to work. How do things
get changed? By changin' 'em, of course!
