NON-COOPERATION

I had to make a decisions today that was rooted in philosophy. It is an idea I believe in, I argue for, and I think that I live in some ways, but when I was pushed by a community member to act in a way that was right (but against the accepted standard) I hesitated for a long, long time. Today I finally put on the Black and Tan, said "Up the Queen" and did it. The "laws" here that "protect' us wont allow me to sell milk to my neighbor. Today we made an agreement that will allow her to get milk from the goats she now "partially owns" for a maintenance fee. The agreement dances around the law, hopefully keeping us out of the slammer, but the action has me stepping away from the fear of social reprimand and living what I believe. This is an act of non-cooperation. There will be more!

Moving

I have moved most of my philosophical rambling to the http://connect.bioneers.org/ site. More of an audience there, and a broader range of discussion. If an issue comes up that relates to what we are doing here at the farm, I will post it here. Other wise look for my thoughts at bioneers under the nome de plume Afriendof B.
