Title: RE: Vandana Shiva

Doug: > So you agree [with V. Shiva] that women rather than machines should grind flour?<

isn't this a false dichotomy (perhaps coming from Shiva)? Isn't there a spectrum of different techniques for grinding flour, with some more "capital intensive" than others, so-called alternative technologies?

Isn't the main point that people should be given the power to democratically decide which range of technologies prevail, so that markets, corporate hierarchies, and patriarchal traditions don't dictate the answer to this crucial question?
