[Cob] Got the permit - an epic event in (modern) cob history

[Ocean Liff-Anderson]

Of course it would be Ray Cirino, our resident coblist Mystic, to be  
the one to cast this momentous event into its proper light, on the  
grand, epic scale that we are all moving towards - sustainability,  
evolution, peace, harmony, one more step towards the new Garden of Eden.

However, I don't think Ray really meant to imply that he looks  
forward to another "disaster" to prove any point.  Bad semantics?   
Maybe we should read Ray's post to say "we can't afford to wait for  
another disaster..."  Whatever the case, unfortunately, such sad  
events seem inevitable, given our culture's resistance to change,  
where we are far too comfortable with the status quo.

On the positive note - yes, this event will open doors everywhere -  
into cob buildings, radically affordable housing, freedom from the  
poisoned mortgage-financial-feudal economy.
