Ah yes, the village economy where everyone lives in poverty not just a
few. If it were not for living in a global economy I would not have the
few luxuries I do have (which are mostly cast offs from the more
affluent). No thanks, I have no desire to go back to the dark ages. I
figure that most of the people who think that is a good idea also think
that they would be part of the nobility and not one of the peasants.

And who says we _have_ to transport our daily life goods around the globe?
IMO, doing that is plain stupidity. Buy local food slow food. I try to live
by that slogan, but it is near impossible.
Ok, some goods can't be produced locally, coffee, cameras and a few other
essential goods. But most goods can, we know it, but we simply ignore it.
This is because many of us don't care about what we do to Mother Earth. (I'm
not accusing any specific persons, please have that in mind).
Sorry about this political outburst. Let me add a little friendly :-)

NZ$1.70 a litre for 91. It seems to go up on a weekly basis now, but
being predominantly pedal-powered I find it difficult to care.
The short-sighted point of view is _burning_ fossil resources.
