Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

"But we will all be taken down with it."

This picture looks a lot more like her today than any of the other pictures I could find. She's just enough older now  that pictures of her from treesit days look too fresh faced. Also she has different hair than then. While it may seem a minor point, I want to give her much respect for good hair. And a good outfit all around. Black slacks and a black t-shirt may be boring in general, but they're appropriate when you want an audience to focus on your face and your words.Caliope drove us up to Los Alamos today to see Julia Butterfly Hill speak at a Unitarian church. I'd like to acknowledge one of the bad things that law school has done to me: it has made me unwilling to give credit to rhetorical styles that aren't heavily analytical. This is wrong and I need to work on it. Fortunately, today helped. Indeed, perhaps what most impressed that upon me was Julia's mention of how her speaking skills built from next to nothing to evidently quite fantasic during her two years in the tree. My speaking skills are something I very much would like to improve upon, and I found myself greatly encouraged to hear that someone else had been able to do so through practice. I expect to get a lot of practice next year.

Julia was touring the country on a bus powered by vegetable oil and biodiesel. I made a guy with a shaved head and bleached goatee explain the fuel system to me. I think I understood the basics, which pleased me greatly. On the drive back Celeste asked if there would be any way of converting a motorcycle. I had been thinking about this, as she knew. I had just read the other day about a Royal Enfield bike with a diesel engine which I supposed could run on diesal. Apparently some people have already considered this. I don't know if you could do the full conversion to vegetable oil, though, without the bike being too heavy to hold up.

And in closing, if it isn't too late already, call your mother.
