EFF and ACLU plan to appeal.

Alternative currency organization Fourth Corner Exchange is planning to expand worldwide. A move which I expect will make alternative currency exponentially more useful.

President Francis Ayley:

"We are putting together a 'Community Coordinator' package that will have
all the necessary info on how to start a local chapter of the 'Life
Dollar Community', which is what we are calling ourselves now. I am
selling this as 'Democratic Money', as opposed to Bank Issued Money,
which is economic slavery. If an individual, group or local community
want to take back their economic power from the banks, this is how to do

We are trying something new this year. Growing potatoes in barrels. Basically you get a barrel or large bucket, something kinda deep and with holes in the bottom for good drainage. Throw in 8 inches or so of rich dirt and/or compost, then plant your seed taters in that. Once the "green shoots" emerge you keep filling up around the potato plant stems as they grow, gradually filling up the barrel with compost. Apparently potatoes will form throughout the barrel along all the buried stems. Seems like a good way to make efficient use of space. Also allows you to bring the barrels in the greenhouse come fall to keep the new potatoes coming year round. If you are careful you can dig and eat potatoes without killing the plant. We, as they say, shall see.
