[Walls Have Teeth]

If only we lived in small, self sufficient communities that relied on trade and not money. Where we knew where all our food came from, where we actually KNEW the people in our town and kindness towards one another was an actual practice, and where we walked most everywhere enjoying the scenery and taking life on at a slower pace.

Last Fall for a seven week period, I lived in the woods with a group of five friends. We ate rice and lentils for dinner, and oats for breakfast, and used purified stream water and snow for drinking water. We started all our fires by friction ( Bow or hand drill), wasting no fuel. That seven weeks I NEVER knew the time, nor touched a cell or computer, or had any contact with anyone outside of the circle of us five people.

That way of living was an awesome experience, and ideal for me... it was depressing coming home to rising gas prices to live with capitalists. I know a lot of people wouldn't like that way of life, but damn was it refreshing and cleansing.

There is so much talk about new fuel resources, I hope one actually pulls through... it would seem oil companies would fight like hell to terminate them though. Hopefully we will find a new efficient fuel source that wont get raped like oil did. For the meantime I ride a motorcycle, it gets way better gas mileage than I would hope to get in a car.
