[Cob] cob and The Code

Thu May 3 08:41:48 CDT 2007

Cat here!

This is not about this country folks and this is not about rights or codes.  
this my dear ones is about world domination.  Playing with the bull shit is 
just going to get you occupied spinning your wheels identified and dirty.  I 
prefer cob to politics. the majority of folks want what they have.  We are a 
minority and need to understand that our job is to set an example and an 
alternative, be contagious if you will.  Not force the system to change to 
meet our needs.  The world will make those changes evident when the time 
comes.  So build your homes where you can the way you know and let the world 
find you.
example:  I built a raised garden on my farm.  My neighbors laughed at all 
the work laying the stone for this ridiculous thing.  two years of good 
harvests and easy care and the neighbors stopped laughing and started 
building their own.  Not the same as mine.  They modified the concept with 
their own imaginations.  One even came down to tell me all about raised 
gardens and how wonderful they were, teaching me what he had learned. A 
little news article was posted in the local newspaper.  The chuckle was that 
instead of calling it a French raised garden, I had to call it an English 
Box Garden!  I am guilty of spin!  This made it palatable for the locals.  
That is the natural way for humans to do things.  We are not only building 
naturally, we are learning to live and think naturally.  Everyone is not 
meant to do what we do.   Ask yourselves why you want acceptance or 
permission from masters?
