Actually, the market works. The market responds to buzz words like 
"sustainability" and "organic". It also responds to social pressure, and 
generally works with government for accommodating laws. Remove the 
market and, as in the ex-Soviet Union, you have massive corruption and 
pollution.

Also, such broad statements like "so obviously destructive of the 
communities and ecosystems that sustain our quality of life" seem a bit 
overblown for what is right here in the US compared to the old USSR.

Merry Christmas to all.

For Christmas dinner, we are having roasted Spotted Owl.
