Wow, Graham "is working on his 40th country this year" - and this is coming from a self-proclaimed tree-hugger? May we ask how Graham will be getting to his 40th country? And may we ask whether he sees the obvious contradiction between his work of writing about "ecological" matters, and actually destroying that same ecology by "working on his 40th country"?
Ha! I knew someone at Treehugger had spent time in Vancouver - the constant cracks at Kitsilano Hemp Co. couldn't have been sheer coincidence. Keep up the good work.

Do you see the obvious contradiction of having a computer & internet in your 'biocommune'?
