Unfair to People to say All are Created Equal
I strongly disagree with your declaration that all people are created equal. We are not equal per se, but we all do have equal value. I am concerned that saying that all people are created equal will subtract from the extra support that some may need to truly be on equal footing, and might be limiting to the encouragement of differing talents. Therefore, it is my suggestion that we do not declare that all are created equal, but declare that all of us are equally valuable. Thank you for considering my suggestion, Elizabeth I Quirk

Creative financing for new farmers ....
Increasing numbers of farmers are exploring creative ways to acquire capital for farm operations. The following pages detail options and considerations for crafting unconventional nancial arrangements that have been used in other sectors of the economy, but might be new to the agricultural sector. We guide the reader through basic legal issues relevant to farmers and community members when pursuing these arrangements. We highlight several mechanisms that allow for creativity and customization of nancial transactions at the neighbor-to-farmer or farmer-to- community-member level: • the promissory note • the owner- nanced land sale, • equity nancing • revenue-based nancing • the “multi-year” CSA • share leases www.thegreenhorns.net THEGREENHORNS.NET

Psychology of control & State of Mind - Top Documentary
I saw this documentary and it seemed very good to convey the idea of how we are educated (endoctrinated) to go with the herd, how great capital induces us to give individual and collective liberties and do other things that are detrimental to us and more, feeds the system. Among other this relates how people are lead by publicity and even propaganda to make people to get along with the economic and political agenda. The final part, is the most motivating I have seen so far to get them to leave this system giving ideas on how to do it and even fight it ... I think it's very good for the active people at The Transition to gain even more momentum, but mostly I think it's great to wake up people still inside the "Matrix", leading them to join us ... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=afsmIKpJQwQ&client=mv-google&layout=mobile

Text-heavy, unclear Call to Actions, Videos needed
Hi, I am brand new to the site and I was overwhelmingly confused on high and low levels of what the website does and how I can use it. There is an overwhelming amount of text. Information is good, but too much of it can turn a person away. Some people are readers, some people use the overall imagery of the site to deduce information and some people are a blend of the two. But in general, people will only give a page a few seconds of their time to understand it before they click off to a new site in which they don't have to study it to understand it. A short video, like a trailer for the website, would be fantastic on the home page. And a clear, main Call to Action on each page (perhaps in the same location for each page) would help clear things up too. I have been on the site for 20 minutes now and am still not entirely sure how to use the site, why I should use the site and what the site actually does.

I've seen this documentary and I find it very pertinent to educate people to leave religious or paranormal beliefs and start to realise that logic and science is more valid and trustful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1N1bGH1gb8

Home Page - Scrolling images appear pixelated or blurred
The scrolling images on the home page have some pixelation and blurring issues, especially around the hard lines on the "post-it-note images", around the text on the Nelson Mandela image, and in both the text and background image of the "sunset" image. It might help to try uploading a higher-resolution copy of the scrolling images. I currently use a VERY large flat-screen for my moniter so It's probably a lot more obvious to me, but it would help the front page to look even more professional if the images are very sharp and clean.

Nicole Bienfang responded to Add "surplus" to the "type" category of free food offered. with completed 2018-05-06 04:37:18 -0500 on May 06, 2018 at 04:37 AM (CDT)
Add "surplus" to the "type" category of free food offered.
On The Transition page, "http://www.thetransition.org/free_food", there is a place to enter "Locations". When filling out this form, it asks for "type". I would suggest adding "surplus" to the list of different types of food offered. I entered the surplus eggs I always have every spring, but the different "type" categories don't match. I entered it under "grocery samples", as I thought that was the closest, but it really doesn't describe farm surplus food available on a seasonal basis. Perhaps an "Other" as a type, instead of or in addition to "Surplus" or "Farm/Producer Surplus"?
Official response from Nicole Bienfang completedFor "Surplus" food, you can use the "Food is Free" option.

A description of the different types of free food is needed
On The Transition page http://www.thetransition.org/free_food, the form to enter locations has a spot where different types of free food is indicated. A description of each of those different types of free food is needed.
Official response from Nicole Bienfang incompleteThe items on the free food page are fairly self explanatory. Are there any particular items on there that you feel needs to have a further description on what it is?

Share programs
Share programs for The Transition contributors would be a valuable service to The Transition community. Shares can be a share of animal products or shares of land or services. A person who currently holds something physical of value gives it to another person or group of people in exchange for either a share of the proceeds - as in a share of a harvest - or for services, such as assistance in maintaining a physical building, or for personal assistance or personal care.
Official response from Nicole Bienfang incompleteWhat you are describing is the purpose of BUDs. Users can already post their spaces/objects onto those respective pages and try to find others who are willing to trade if that is what they want to do. Is there something additional that you would like to see?

The Red Pill
This is a recent documentary showing the opposers of feminism, the MRA's. Good way to see the other persepective. Disclaimer though, they use emotional appeal fallacies sometimes just like feminists and conservatives and liberals do, so don't fall for it lol.

Additional businesses
I think it would be more than useful if members could also run other (legal) money making businesses that allowed them to accumulate more money so that they could then contribute a reasonable part of their wealth to the Transition.
Official response from Nicole Bienfang completedWe do too! That's why we advocate during Progression Sessions with individuals that they start a BUD based on this concept. Especially when we have a greater understanding of the individual person and their specific needs and talents.

Venus Project
Hello, may I suggest you add "The Best That Money Can't Buy" to your recommended reading and book shop? Even just providing a link to their page will unite like-minded individuals. This site embraces RBE. The term was coined by Jacque Fresco.
Official response from Nicole Bienfang consideringOf course you can! Currently we are in the midst of rebuilding our book store so pardon the wait as we make it even better than it was before. We also highly recommend you listen to this podcast: https://www.thetransition.org/the_transition_featured_on_the_sustainable_living_podcast to get a better understanding of The Transition and how as an organization we are pro RBE, but don't advocate TVP even though a lot of our website users support both. To clarify even further Jacque Fresco did NOT coin the term RBE. He borrowed that terminology from the Technocracy Movement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy_movement of which he was a part of in his younger years before he started to do his own person speaking engagements.

BUG STUFF
So here's the deal: I have apparently done all my signing in with the facebook sign in option. I didn't know the password to sign in with my email... I asked to have it send me a password reset email and I never received that email in order to set up a password with that email. the website still lets me sign in with the facebook sign in and do most things, but when I am looking at my phase 0 box with the list and checks and stuff, whenever I click "get off your buts" the site goes to the sign in page... I can never get through that to the page. Even though I'm already signed in. That's what's what.
Official response from Nicole Bienfang incompleteOur team has been fixing a lot of "buggy" stuff check back and see if that has resolved your issues. If not contact your Point Person and they can supply a temporary password and see if that is a fix.

Official response from Nicole Bienfang completedThe whole purpose of The Transition organization is to help people get their dream projects like the one you mentioned off the ground and successful. In order to do that individuals must each do Your Action Plan.
