After reviewing the web site, "Slow Home," linked to in the "External Links" section, it appears that it has little to do with the genuine Slow Movement. It looks to me as if that site has merely appropriated the moniker from the Slow Food movement - and the Slow Movement in general - in order to lend itself a little cachet. I propose that the link to Slow Home be removed, as it is just another consumer-oriented web site and company, the very antithesis of the Slow Movement. |

The history section here refers to Slow Food. I recommend this section be removed or revised. Slow has a long and rich history so whether it is useful to go back to Ancient India, the Greeks or the Romantic Movement is up for discussion. But certainly the backlash to the Industrial Revolution has bearing on its history. --[[User:Greycar|Greycar]] 03:36, 8 October 2007 (UTC) |

I see little value in the Worldwide Slow Movement link in the history section. It seems this is linked to a travel agency. --[[User:Greycar|Greycar]] 03:36, 8 October 2007 (UTC) |

After reviewing the web site, "Slow Home," linked to in the "External Links" section, it appears that it has little to do with the genuine Slow Movement. It looks to me as if that site has merely appropriated the moniker from the Slow Food movement - and the Slow Movement in general - in order to lend itself a little cachet. I propose that the link to Slow Home be removed, as it is just another consumer-oriented web site and company, the very antithesis of the Slow Movement.
The history section here refers to Slow Food. I recommend this section be removed or revised. Slow has a long and rich history so whether it is useful to go back to Ancient India, the Greeks or the Romantic Movement is up for discussion. But certainly the backlash to the Industrial Revolution has bearing on its history. --Greycar 03:36, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
