The individual is able to think, feel, strive, and work by himself; but he depends so much upon society--in his physical, intellectual, and emotional existence--that it is impossible to think of him, or to understand him, outside the framework of society. It is 'society' which provides man with food, clothing, a home, the tools of work, language, the forms of thought, and most of the content of thought; his life is made possible through the labor and the accomplishments of the many millions past and present who are all hidden behind the small word
'society'.

Self-Help Tips
Sol
Power: Cooking with the sun
"I'd
put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of
power! I hope we don't have to wait 'til oil and coal run
out before we tackle that."
Thomas Edison
(1847-1931)
 Just
by solar cooking on weekends and holidays with his portable
outdoor oven, Jim Arwood of Phoenix calculates that his family
shaves about $40 from their electric bill over the summer... Solar cooks find something magical about preparing
meals with sunshine. Says solar cookbook author Anderson: "It
only takes a few brave souls trying something that makes a whole
lot of sense before people say, 'Yeah, I can do that too."'

Note
Can
I stop it? Is it possible for me, one speck, one person, to do
anything at all to halt the relentless, overpowering flow of the mighty
river which is mainstream modern society? It has become more swift,
more turbulent and, thus, more monstrous; and, now, with each passing day
there comes the ever-rising danger of a system gone viciously
berserk.
No
longer can one go to sleep at night wrapped in the comforting belief that
tomorrow will be just another day. The place where there exists the
stability of sameness has dis- appeared completely off our map. What
happened to home, where was found all sweetness in the face of
familiarity? Wild, this river has run through it-- through it and
around it and over it!
On
and on, the unrestrained system escalates its rampage. Yet, many are
willingly aboard eager to ride the river in hopes of exciting
riches. All, caught in its gorging current, are at its mercy.
Answering to no one, this river, after all, must be recognized for what it
really is: a tyrant.
So,
how do I fight this type of tyranny? Following the way of the
salmon, I'll try for the path going upstream!
