Well to be sure some do even if his example is rather broad. What I am trying to get at is do most of us even believe in a sustainable Community. You seem to indicate there are no sustainable communities, unless I missed something. Do you feel the communities I posted represent a more sustainable community? More than what we normally see today?
I used to like Simon and Garfunkel buit I am not sure they related to thermodynamics and the first law.
