Re: Re: [occupyfarms] Fwd: occupy farms help w\ food on S17?

Howdy friends,

I have included the 'feed the movement' list here which still has some people looking at it. These lists are the best way for some of us farmers to stay connected to the larger movement during the growing season. I could help gather fresh food from our farm and others in the Upper Valley of VT/NH from veggie farms and bakeries and can try to get it to the border of MA. I may be able to send it down with traveling occupiers. Occupy VT is pretty active and will likely have a contingent heading south.

I'd love to connect with a current/active food working group contact in NYC. Any on these lists?

Is there anyone who can rally a crew in MA for a support chain to transport to the big city?

I'll be heading to New York for the 17th.  I don't have any specific plans yet and I don't know what's going on down there in terms of organizing for food needs but I'm happy to help rally energy here in the Pioneer Valley to bring some food down, maybe a couple of days in advance if it's useful.

Hi Ryan,

I must sadly say that I very much don't like your 'pushy' way of discussing. I would strongly encourage you to while stating YOUR OPINIONS accept that other people have DIFFERENT OPINIONS. Otherwise I may start considering you as someone who CONSIDERS ONESELF as some kind of divinely inspired prophet of truth on a mission to preach small stupid 'normal' human beings ;)

As I've told you already I choose not to use money and for me it has no use value. I understood that Evan also prefers to work with real produce rather than play with money (which again I consider a human mind made fiction)

If you want to use money please go ahead and do it with people who still accept to play with it.

For me $$$ = Bullshit (not meaning here this real stuff which one can use as fertilizer on a farm)
For you it sounds like $$$ = Good Stuff (whatever you mean by it)

Can we please move on mutually respecting that we have simply DIFFERENT OPINIONS on this topic, and other people can also have their own opinions on it?

Thank you for you positive intentions! And by the way if you want to continue this topic please try not to hijack this thread which someone have started for other purpose... apologies from me to everyone for doing it a bit myself here :(
