I had done consulting work for an Agroforestry group working in Rwanda. It was the learning of Agroforestry techniques that helped to bring some peace, money, and schools to the people of Rwanda.
It all has it's place. When I started working with an eco-group they demanded cultural changes forced upon the group, instead of letting the natural order of things develop like the Rwandans.
Please add me to the list as well.
That’s fascinating. I wonder if God puts a bug in our ears sometimes...
You have to ignore their politics, but MotherEarthNews.com is a terrific site for articles on homesteading and sustainable living.
Also this site is a forum for folks sharing ways to save money, stockpile, buy in bulk, etc. A word to the wise perhaps. Just avoid theological discussions if you’re not of Mormon persuasion:

please add me to the Gulch!
ty!
Please add me to the AS ping list too.
I got to build me a battleship so I can be Ragnar Danneskjöld! ;^)
Add me please.
Thanks EBH and best wishes to you. I hope I wasn’t snippy in my response.
Interesting story about Rwanda. It sounds like there’s a book in there somewhere (speaking as a writer).
Ha! Yeah, MotherEarthNews has come great stuff.
I’ll check out that Mormon one as well; maybe my wife would be interested.
I read an article from MotherEarthNews in my doctor’s office (really!) and the author said they had survived on as little as $5000 per year. I don’t know if they had health insurance though. But still... interesting stuff.
Here’s the article:

You can buy backissues from them on CD too, very cheap. Going back to the 1970s. Everything they publish is online, I believe.
So are you the keeper of the official “Atlas Shrugged” Republican Extremist ping list? If so, please add me. If not, I will volunteer for said position.
Yes, I’m the keeper of the list. Thanks for the offer of help. I may need it in the future. I’ll let you know. :)
You totally rock. I’m swiping your label idea and printing it word-for-word as you’ve written it. Is that okay with you?
I'll be gone for a few hours, so anyone wishing to join the list, it may be some time before I get back to you.
good stuff, good stuff! Thanks!
Thank you Jellybean.
FYI, there is a cool store, JohnGaltGifts.com, that sells t-shirts, decals and bumper stickers. We might want to consider a "secret code" decal for the windshield to designate we few, we faithful few, we band of capitalist brothers (and sisters). I think, though, that there may be more than just a "few" of us out there.
CafePress.com also has lots of John Galt stuff to offer — just got a tee-shirt from them —
Just put in Atlas Shrugged or John Galt in the “search” box and you’ll see it all.
Will you please add me to any Atlas Shrugged ping list as well? Much appreciated!
