The last Greener Times of 2009 suggests that US salvation could be won on the streets of the District of Columbia, and accordingly paints a picture of one million seriously pissed off souls occupying it. That's a lot of urine. Thinking about the logistics has turned up the obvious:  Island mobile units complete with medical, food, and sanitation. Composed of neighbors and friends, a unit once formed could respond to a variety of emergencies as well as that ultimate. Having this come to mind clicks with Joe Ulatoski's  NERO strategy for earthquakes etc.. Making a socio-political unit from a NERO would be unwise if the "politico" element became partisan, but if you read the GT piece you see that its idea of street presence is precisely to abandon political affiliation. So some of the NEROs might in fact become nuclei for street work. Off island, you understand. Anyway, the idea of fairly permanent mobile units for "street work" would have collateral impact on island life. Yeah, I know the Beachcomber is 100% for local matters and the Council is 150% for local matters, but you know that no island can be an island, don't you? For the twenty-third or fourth time be reminded that this island as presently conditioned is 93 % dependent on the ferries, and therefore should not pretend it can ignore what's going down out there. So forget the Beachcomber and the Council and think of an island of deer, NEROs and Green Berets. I understand they used them to pee in.
