Re: the good fight

[Ken Medlin <dev-plan@moscow.com>]

Good rationalization, Steve. Yet, to make 'real' progress in community 
development, some kind of consensus on cultural values has to be reached. 
W/o that, the power games continue to play out, and there are winners and 
losers. There are genuine boundaries to how much exploitation and genetic 
transformation nature can stand, and still sustain all forms of life that 
nature has endowed. Unless we move in that general direction, we shall 
never resolve the puzzles that conrfont us, and political expediencies 
shall forever sway the balance of power. Knowledge is the real power, but 
it is distributed very unevenly in the community, and often not shared at 
all by those who control much of it. And, development without moral 
guidelines is not really development.  Ken M.
