I had this professor that theorized every progress mankind
has achieved has been to get himself further away from nature. It stuck with me
through the years and I think about it often as homesteading and gardening becomes
more and more mainstream in this country. Those that look to grow their own
food and avoid man-made chemicals moved past the small fringe and are now
covering sites like Pintrest and facebook. It’s hip to ride a bike and grow
tomatoes for the first time since the 60’s. Is it possible today to have the
kind of social revolution that happened then? I wonder if Peace, Love, and
Understanding are around the corner to stay for at least a popular minute, or
if we are too violent and jaded to ever get to that place again.
