Open Farm Tech From JAnne in Regina SK

[Anne Moreland]

For me it is not an intellectual exercise. I am plugged into the political

about what I perceive to be happening around the world. I realize that
online democratic process can be co-opted by just about anyone seeking power
yet at the same time I must hold on to hope.
