You know the people that say utopia isn't possible have already given up. Living sustainably in balance with our environment and food sources will bring us the freedom to live in harmony, and provide the opportunity for all to excel in their efforts, dreams and life path. Utopia is not only possible but it is the very essence that should guide our dreams and vision for ourselves and with each other. It is the horizon we should all strive for everyone and every nation. Anything short of that will lead us astray.
Hello John, Thanks for adding me to your MySpace friends. I have fond memories of listening to you in Cambridge in the 70's, and sharing the stage at the Nameless Coffee House. Am happy to reconnect. - Wishing you well, - Tom
