I find it difficult to believe that nobody on this forum has made mention of Vladimir Megre and his "Ringing Cedars" series of books. The books spell out a model for building communities of the future.
Bill & Kerry: Please could you place Megre on your list of people to interview? His messsage is of vital importance to our future, in my opinion.
