I'm a "Crunchy Con" too. We fled the suburbs two years ago for a rural life. I'm no farmer and may have been cursed with a black thumb, but I'm going to try my hand at gardening this spring/summer. I buy from farmers markets whenever I can (a Whole Food store is a 45 minute drive) and we're planting as many trees on our 2 acres as we can afford.

Life in suburbia was too noisy in so many ways. The traffic, the bigger and better jobs, the materialism, the pressure on our kids, etc. Enough was enough!

I'm closer to this than any other conservative viewpoint I've seen expressed.

I take the train to work, have tried doing some container gardening, live below my means, etc.

Generally I'm not one for such labels, but I guess this sorta fits. Kinda.
