It was great to see you Lloyd. A real pleasure. If any of your knowledgeable readers have any constructive feedback on the Sufficiency Manifesto I would love to hear it!

So many people reject any suggestion of cultural change but never give good reason why they reject it. Nothing is a given, ever. Nothing is forever, ever.

Cultural change? Nope.

Enforced change. Not from within but from without. Not voluntary change but involuntary. Each of those sections Lloyd wrote depend, nay, DEMAND, that Govt, with its near monopoly on Force, will make you change.

And if it does in the cause of "Sufficiency", do you think that the people wielding those Levers of Power are going stop there?

Nope.

Sufficiency makes a lot of sense to me. If I understand it correctly, it means accepting having enough instead of wanting more. I have run across a phrase from WWII that goes something like "make it it do, wear it out, make it do, or do without". Being poor goes a long way towards making do, too!

“Being poor goes a long way towards making do, too!”

That’s exactly what the WEF and UN IPCC would have us be: poor, own nothing, and be happy about it. Free people will never stand for that unreasonable demand!
