Coops

I went to a coop "town hall" meeting today. It's funny how the same arguments occur in progressive communities everywhere, and keep things from progressing. You don't want to be disorganized to the point of financial insolvency like North Country Coop, but you don't want to be so Whole Foods-like that you prioritize money ("happy meat", limited member involvement because it's inefficient, and anti-union behavior) over your mission. So I see both sides, and both tend to act very silly.
