WORK AND PLAY AMONG THE ECOTOPIANS
Gilroy Hot Springs, June 22. An unexpected deture has lead me to a unexpected artical. The more I disscover about Ecotopian work habits the more I am amazed about how the 20 hour work week works. Its impossible to tell the difference. Somebody will bring out beer or pot and a party will start right there. I've talked with people on the street for 10 min and then the guy mencens hes working and walks off. Unemployment bothers no one and income has only slightly dropped. Jobs became plentiful after independence. Living standards also changed so the affect was not felt. Fixing thing is a passion in Ecotopia, prehaps its the diseire to reuse old crap.

ECOTOPIA: CHALLENGE OR ILLUSION?
San Francisco, June 19. Where is Ecotopias going in the future? After six weeks in this strange country I can't even guess. Water and air are cystal clear, social experiments have worked on a bio level. Land is well cared for and productive, food is pleniful, wholesome, and recognizable. The health and general well being of the people are undeniable. This soceity could go on forever. THis extrem dexentralization and ecotional epenness are extermly strange. However the lifestyle here with its drawbacks could never function in american society. Cities have almost become city states and there's further talk about racial oncalves. It is difficult to campare there racial system to ares with the failiers of 60's having grown society to be even more segrigated and somewhat less equale. The Ecotopian model of small second class states with small petty cultural differences have shattered the greatness of sea to shining sea. Instead of continuing the long march to world piece as america has dedicated itself to on the battlefields of Korea, Vietnam, Brazil, and even on are own soil. Ecotopians have turned there nation toward medievil europe or even jungle tribes. Ecotopians say that this way of life allows for a bio/cultural niche.
