I first saw you on American Homestead. This is certainly informative and refreshing. I can see why people are as impressed with you as they are. As to the homesteading community, it will only get larger as more and more people realize the current system is not set up to benefit them any more and that far from having solutions to the problems politicians are the source of our problems. Continuing to participate in the game of tug o war isn't the answer. To paraphrase someone we both know "the best anyone can do is let go of the rope."
