The 2 Book 2 Issues 2 Thoughtful Comments Contest deadline is June 20
on the stroke of Midnight. To enter you are invited to leave a comment here on my Goodreads' blog. Enjoy looking to a secure future. Cary Neeper.

Here are some questions related to the issues in The Webs of Varok:

Issue number 1: How can society ensure that "family" is defined legally to protect all persons and dependent beings included in the commitment? Are economic and emotional commitments enough for a legal definition? Tax benefits? Other benefits?

Issue number 2: The steady state economy of varok means minimal throughput (using just enough of everything that is acceptable and putting out the least amount of garbage possible).

What is the best way to get there, in order to ensure a pleasant standard of living for life on Earth for as long as possible? Are Conn's suggestions at the end of The Webs of Varok
enough?
