Akiva;

I've got a Digital-8 camera if you can't find anyone locally in time.
Let me know. I also may have limited access to some editing equipment.

"Immoral governments tolerate desertification and land-salting,
concreted highways and city sprawl, which take more good land
permanently out of life production than the loss of territory to a
conqueror. Immorality of this nature is termed "progress" and "growth"
to confuse the ignorant and to supplant local self-reliance for the
temporary ends of centralised power."
