Over it all

here’s som1 else talking about intentional communities:

What if you joined an intentional community? There are places that grow their own food, have water and shelter, and allow you to live rent free. In exchange for 40 hours of work each week. Of course you’re not going to get rich at one of these places, but all of your basic survival needs will be met.
Imagine living with like minded individuals, in nature, working together for the continued sustainability of the group. Utopia doesn’t exist, but there are groups out there that have chosen to renounce a lifestyle based on the personal accumulation of wealth.
If you google “intentional communities” you’ll find lists/directories.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but what would happen if urban areas lost electricity for a week? Or a month? No refrigerators. Restaurants and stores closed. Gas stations. Don’t bother calling the police. Then lets say the water supply goes out. No drinking water. No showers, toilets, irrigation for your backyard garden. If you’re stuck in a city, what would happen?
I don’t want to sound like an alarmist, but I’m leaving here in about a week to live in the mountains with uh….well, hippies. Growing our own food, drinking our own water. Living the way humans lived for thousands of years before the industrial revolution. Instead of getting beaten by the system, I’m taking myself out of the game. I’m not giving up on life, just rejecting the dominant paradigm.
There’s always room for more who choose not to participate, ya know….

I see, yup … ‘life’ .. how old are ya? If you don’t mind me asking, i guess so i can be more careful with what i say,

i see how many times have you tried it? (just curious),

and about the communities they’re all over the place, if you’d really consider joining 1 it shouldn’t be that hard at all, I’m trying to join 1 ,
