Perhaps you have some other information to contradict this that you
wish to share?

As for ³citations², here is a few to skim through since I know you
donıt ever read much of what you cherry pick for your BS propaganda.
If you still pretend you need some more I will be visiting the PLU
Library here in a few weeks and will get you some of those as well.
However you will need to get either academic or paid access to those.
Do note these are not the dot coms fringe political editorial
references you always posting , so again, be cautious in your cherry
picking to support your propaganda without actually reading, like you
did recently with Mann, etc. . That pattern shows a proclivity
towards lying to support your political activism agenda.

What are you trying to prove? That you've been wrong all along?

What are you trying to prove with these superficial documents?

You are a wild and wacky guy, gunny.

I will address your points if there really are any bird. The first

the references I gave billy below as well as Milpa & swidden


Milpa and Swidden what?


Understand you are talking about monoculture. Don't know where native
plants came in.


specifically we were talking about how to
deal with arid land that is barren and lacking
much cover at all. that is land that is on the
verge of desertification. i mentioned setting
up rocks to start a reforestation effort and
then you said something about the three sisters
which are not involved in reforestation (they
can play a later role in a more sustainable
agricultural setup, but initially the idea is
to get some shade and trees to support wild
life). the rock line captures water even for a
moment and allows more of it to soak in and it
also captures seeds that blow on the wind.
native seeds. so there is no overt agriculture
going on to start with, just getting some shade
and trees that produce food/fruit and wood for
people to use (eventually).

notice that this natural and native setup
does not need any additional irrigation because
it is using native seeds and it needs no
subsidies because the seeds are there already.
the only thing it needs is people to line up
the rocks and then for them to keep the animals
from eating the new growth and for them to not
over harvest wood or burn the hedge/trees. once
you get one line going the shade and treeline
will act as a continual source of other seeds
for the surrounding area and it will harbor
plants and animals.

i'm not talking theory here, i'm talking what
has been tried and found to work for low cost
reforestation in arid regions.


Still subsidies are subsidies regardless of who they go to. Get the
people a real job instead of giving them water, seed and money to
continue to screwing up the fragile eco system of this arid regions.


i don't see how sustainable methods using
native plants is screwing up a fragile
ecosystem. it's restoring an ecosystem likely
damaged by war, fire, over grazing, monoculture
farms, irrigation, etc. and really, i'm not
talking about jobs here, i'm talking about
growing food to live as simply as possible.
jobs are things that people have who are not on
the brink of starvation because their land is
destroyed.

Absolutley not a dam. They are just earthwork contour gutters (for want of

*nods* yes, i know of what you speak, i was
just nattering about how the usage is different.


here i call places seeps are catches where i
gather water from a harder rain. i wouldn't call
them swales because they are not marshy.


But swales don't have to be marshy and in fact I don't think I've ever seen
one that could be called marshy.


likely a climate/country related shift in usage
(i'm assuming it's much drier there so there
may not be as much of the marshy aspect going on).
the usage of the word here is about an area that
is sometimes marshy. the erosion control or over
flow water control aspects are not even mentioned
in the definition (Middle English origin should
give you a better way of seeing how the usage has
shifted).


The function of swales is to slow down rain run off and let the water soak
in and recharge the soil with moisture. Thus swales work well in both arid
and dry temperate zones where the rainfall can come in fast and furious
bursts (like from passing storms) but where the rain is not sustainedfor a
long time. They probably also work in high rainfall areas to slow the flow
of water across a clandscape but where they arent' necesarrily needed to
give much needed soil moisture.


yes, i'm aware of the function of them, sorry
to have confused you to think i wasn't.

As for the CIA fact book, are you afraid of something? I used the

you are afraid, you can go to some web encyclopedias and sift to get

Why bother reading him? I can't remember him ever having written anything

There are other forums where I read 'tall tales and true from the legendary
