However, if your job, finances, family commitments, etc., have thwarted or delayed your dreams for this kind of total self-reliance, you don’t have to wait until you can afford that 20 acre parcel. You can start working where you are now to build and nurture self-reliant living skills that are sure to provide you with more peace of mind and improved health, and will most likely be of great personal benefit during the coming decades of global challenge and change (see The Perfect Storm: Six Trends Converging on Collapse).

The concern missed is the essential point: issue or goal administration fails 100% of time (so far). Administrative successes are so fleeting that specific instances of achieving desired intent are all we can list to debunk this assertion. There are no institutional administrative successes, no organizational administrative successes, no societal or cultural (continuing not instance) or philosophical administrative successes. That which is administered as we have always administered will fail just as it always does. Suggestions? Let's start with our real name, homo credens. Homo sapiens is as oxymoronic as administrative solution. The first thing to know is that we believe. The 2nd is the danger from believing that believing is knowing.
