Ruling by the Supremes

[Peter Lemkin]

I don't disagree with you, Peter, and we will do what we can with what we have where we are to prevent them winning. In the interim, and whether we lose or succeed, we have to provide our own social security within the immediate surround of family, tribe and community (hopefully enlisting them for their assistance and support).

Well, the communes of the 60s and 70s are mostly gone - except some that revolve around [to me] strange religious or 'new age' ideas. I know of only a precious few towns/communities of a more normal/abnormal sort that have a positive/progressive spirit - but they all have problems with making a living. I like the 'idea', but find it hopelessly [or almost hopelessly] idealistic and not likely to happen - less so for me far away - to find such a community. I'm running out of time, as well. If I sound 'down', I am....just lost my job in this time of recession - and for my political beliefs too - not my work, which was highly commentated. Survival looks iffy now.
