Are you on crack or perfectly comfortable with the hypocrisy of posting your comment with a computer?

Now, I'm pretty fond of simple tools. For example, I'm really enjoying putting up loose hay for my small flock of sheep with a scythe, rake, hay fork, and wheelbarrow. I'm also a fan of bikes, reel mowers (although sheep are better), and hand tools for woodworking. My leaning is definitely towards depending on tools that can be built or at least serviced by the user. And I'm with you that there are huge lifestyle changes looming in our futures, but specialization will be part of that.

If our population was one tenth of what it is, we might be able to get by, but it will probably suck a lot less if we each choose to focus on areas that would benefit us most (ie. which may include benefiting others most).
