I just stumbled on this month-old article from Scott Ballum at Sheepless.org (things have been a little hectic, I’m sure he told me about it and I forgot), which happens to include the Linkery, but more importantly describes what kind of neighborhood we could live in, if we choose to support the work of our neighbors, all the way down the line.
Plus, there’s the added benefit that the work of neighbors, unlike the work of factory egg farms and Wal-Mart’s suppliers, is far less likely to kill us.
