i've had half a dozen br or more sets of people br come in today talking br about going back to a br more self-sufficient br lifestyle... br people paying off their br accounts, not making purchases. br people buying pigs, chickens, br goats... going to plant br big gardens. br this has been going on for br the last month ot two. br br people watching the gas situation, br the rise of food prices.. sky br high electric bills... br br young people moving back in br with their families... old br people going back to old ways. br br we are not as blind as our br government would like to believe. br lies and illusions wont cut br it anymore. br br too much debt, too much corruption, br too much greed... and they try br to silence anyone who raises a br voice in opposition. br br things have to change. it cannot br go on the way it is. the only br hope we have is to become less br dependent on government, on the br choices of the elite, on society... br br let our dependence be in our families, br in ourselves, and in each other. br forget about wants, and meet needs. br br to change...
