What Ed says about intelligent buyers making informed an
ethical decisions is true.

However this does not equate to buying locally.

In a closed system, such as an isolated local economy such as Ithaca,
where everyone buys and sells locally, local products tend to become
inbred.

One can buy globally with intelligence too, sometimes more so, as one
has a wider arena from which to chose ethical and earth conscious
producers.

Those who feel their livelihoods depend on local buyers, probably
would do well to buy locally themselves too.

Those who feel their livelihoods depend on global buyers, probably
would do well to buy globally themselves.

Basically you should buy from whom buys from you.

This maintains the fair exchange and keeps the money within whatever
arena you are active in.

Learning implies Learning with Certainty or Learning without Certainty.
Learning across a Distance implies Learning by Being an Effect.
Learning by Being an Effect implies Learning without Certainty.
Therefore, Learning with Certainty implies Learning, but
not by Being an Effect, and not across a Distance.
