With you there. We've been paring down to having as little as possible to do with em. I'm on the verge of not renewing any gov't issued ID's, I've gotten rid of the cell phone service, grew a decent garden this year, with plans for much bigger next year. My job provides the health insurance, although I don't use it as I don't want my stuff headed to the IRS. As you can tell, I'm working awful hard on going Galt. That's my goal.
ME TOO! OMG, the silence is beautiful. I may just stay with this, or if I do re-up, it will be (CELL PHONE BATTERY OUT AND AT HOME) most of the time, use it very occasionally and only when necessary. The NSA revelations were very disconcerting to me.
