The Brand Underground- NY Times

This is an older, but very relevant article.

I think that InI have witnessed very similar runnins in the 'organic' movement as well. I mean that in the sense that the organic and local movement have been pimped a bit. Although the 'hipster' connotations are hard to escape with the local movement as well.......... at least to some.



Well it's up to some to keep it real. I am seeing a tremendous opportunity STILL (it's been ten years already for R.A.S.) to provide a service and do InI part to save the world. After all, one can see it coming. http://archive.durangoherald.com/asp-bin/article_generation.asp?article_type=earth&article_path=/earth/earth031218.htm .

I really wish I had the means to sight this exhibition in person. I would only hope that there might exist a way for this to go to other museums worldwide. In reading some of the critique of the exhibit, one might think the author is making some good points about content..........but be sure to sight up the slide show that accompanies this article. Check the picture of the curator.

Selassie I rules and reigns~

Viable small business.
