I just wanted to post this link to one of my favorite works. It is available to read for free online, but I would also reccomend purchasing a print copy or making some contribution to the Buckminster Fuller Institute.

Over the next few months, I will occasionally post other online works of interest, from General Smedley Butler to Hakim Bey, from Albert Schweitzer to Aga Khan IV.

There are resources online that reveal the precise nature of the problems facing humanity and what we can do about them on a microcosmic and macrocosmic level.

Love,

Zip

I have committed the sin of self-reccomending, for the purpose of moving Fuller's vision center stage... or at least as close to the center as I can.

There are only 24 hours for any of you to comment here, but I will gladly make this an extended entry if the dialogue is civil and germaine to the work. Otherwise, save the link into your favorites and enjoy at your leisure.

Bio

I am still a US Marine. In today's economy I came to the conclusion that staying in is better than going out into the cold. I personally undersigned millions of taxpayer dollars for projects that may or may not help the Iraqi people.
