I think it depends entirely on where you live... personally, I live in the

UK where we have so much rain we don't know what to do with it... we do

very occassionally have dry spells (I think the last serious one was about

1976), but it is rare. We also don't seem to have too much problem with

acid rain here (at least not the areas I've lived in).

Great idea for those that can do it and are prepared to do so. As much as

I dislike the concept of economy and money, I do prefer it to having to

farm for myself (it's not my forte!) If it came down to it, I probably

know enough to scrape by, but I don't think that's true for the majority,

so I think most people would be completely scuppered if money were to

suddenly cease to exist...
