Commenting on Elizabeth Spiers post &lt;a href=&quot;/magazine/126/neighborhoodlums.html&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Benefits of Buying Local?&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; A great blog post about &amp;quot;Exploding the myths, presumptions, and pretensions of the bullies.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Different models like &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_food&quot;&gt;buying local&lt;/a&gt;, Organic, Green, etc help organizations and individuals get at responsible principles more easily, but the onus is still on each of us to be asking alert and precise questions that provide answers and change.
&lt;/p&gt;
