I still say it is a moving target and a nice buzz word, used by 
different groups for their own agenda. The statement is nice (could have 
added "Truth, Justice and the American way"), but how does it say that 
small farms are the way to go? Or not to use GMO crops, or nuclear 
energy, or pesticides, or mono culture? But all of those agendas have 
been put into the definition of sustainability by different groups.

These discussions always assume that the other camp is against whatever 
you are for. So there must be a "Mothers for Drunk Driving".

I would like to go on record that I am in favor of apple pie, 
sustainability, sobriety and mothers.
