We know the problems here..... low taxes, poor roads, poor planning, weak zoning regulations, and the concept of profit being a prime motive for any basic thing, poverty shaming, and a number of other issues that make it very difficult to embrace a lifestyle outside the clearly broken conformist consumer model. And the people that would benefit from these things the most... those living in poverty, have no voice because in this twisted place money somehow equals speech.

I am doing all i can from where i am to push things to a more sustainable paradigm, but as with a roman trireme, one cannot row alone and expect to do much than look like a crazy person.
