    ya know, it sounds like you have too much to worry about, sounds like you are trying to start trouble here, if I am wrong please tell me, I will pray for you to have a relaxing meditation and will do my best to manifest that for you.
    Please have a great night and hopefully you will realize that you are focusing your energy in a manner that is counter-productive.

    All my best wishes to you and yours- rabbit

    1st off no mocking intended with next sentence just expressing words I like to see used grouped together multiple times:

    N E body can feel free to feel free and freely feel for the term "feel free" and post such theron.

    N rabbit never said you Had to buy n e thing n has said he has no guidelines just what he was into and that he was looking for others into same.

    Your website also has guidelines-- hours worked, alcohol only drug, time limit--

    so after that I wonder what u b talking about

    *I pass the feather*

    I'll admitt I can kinda see where your commin from. Though a central fund is entirely neccesary and fair provided everyone has representation in the distribution of such a fund, and in founding abundunt food sources aren't just gonna be there off the bat so this request would also seem to me quite understandable. Still I am a little confused with what you would seek to gain out of making such a thread as this, kinda does just seem like your pushing to start somethin

    maybe I just now get it. i never knew you all said feel free to feel free. just for your info, maybe i can say you ripped me off if I were so shallow to care about such things. I have been using that phrase for at leaste 10 years now, and some of the kids i grew up with on the lot and such also have been saying it their whole lives, so get real and find something more important to worry about. and any one who is gonna have people live on their land without a central fund to make sure things get done equally is just not thinking, and as chad said for food and equality it is needed as long as all have a say. anyway, i never have followed your site or what you all are doing too much, but i have reccommended you all to a few people and now i regret that. so I will be making some emails to some of my "Family" over on the east coast today.
    what petty bull shit this seems to be.

    have a beautiful day and feel free to feel free.

    yeah, you definitely have too much time and wasted energy flowing thru your soul, too bad---I am now officially done with this forum and if you decide to flatter me any more with your following, I am sure if you try you can find posts years old by me that say the same stuff that you are complaining about, and have fun doing your thing---I wish you only the best of luck in your venture.
    and you obviously don't feel free

    well i aint startin no shit no where n hhb does have his own way with words,either one realizes that or they dont, n then it gets taken all outta wack half the time cuz he doesnt alliterate very well... first off; no these questions werent sparked by your thread rabbit or anyone elses for that matter,,, it is an ongoing conversation here since we do have folks in and out quite frequently and it has been for some years something that has intrigued me as a person..... i would also like to say that we here at the feel free farm project are not nor ever intend to be a commune.. this is our land that we own however we do not look at it that way,,, the land here is being cared for by us and built in a way that it will be left on to others to continue to do the same so that folks always have a plkace to come gather thoughts, get their head together, get their runnin legs under them,,,have time to feel free, learn grow and yes for the road folks out there to cmoe and rest up or what have you till they are on the road again.... nowwww that said.. ,,, on to the questions that communes or communities have spurred in my mind...

    In most of them that i have researched, there is as there is here ;a work requirement expected of folks. It is the only way things are able to get done atleast here, since we do work out in babble on until we feel we can pretty much completely drop out of it.Many i have noticed have crafts and thing they intend on doing out in the world to make money,,,, however at the same time i know that very seldom are such things lucrative enough to earn large enough amounts of money to build homes and large projects from and if they do provide that type of money then it isnt overnite that it happens...

    How many folks that are going to a commune have the money to sink into a home or a community kettle,,,, after all the average american family in this country can only go about 3 weeks with no income before losing their housing and everything else anyway....

    how is the land divided,,, i cant think that one would have 43 names on a deed to a fifteen acre piece of property(just an example), so there are one or two main owners of said property,,,, one comes in dumps what money they can into said community then things aint what they seem further on down the line or it changes leadership n folks bail,,,, sooooooooooooo ummmmmmmmmmmmmm all the thousands i bust my butt for go where?????into the community or the couple land owners assets???..

    Next, i see all these young folks wanting to start a community n so forth... kewl beans i say n the very best of luck to them,,,, buttttt in all reality how many of these wannabe communities dont work out for whatever reason,,, monetary reasons, zoning laws that werent thought ahead about, the actual cost of things to get done and be built and not rely upon donations from the outside world, other than the labor. inner squabbles, divorce even,,,,

    Then this leads me to the next question i have,,, most of us get into this sorta thing because we dont like the world of babble- on .. we seek out alternatives to sort of get on out or as far from it as possible.... but in my experience thus far n it has been more or less about 14 years now,,,,, how many of said folks are on the public dole n get the hand outs from the govt?? the food stamps the health care, the housing allotments .. Isnt that doing the very thing that we are trying to escape????? I am not damning anyone for the way they go about getting their um "fair share" in life but when ya have in my experience atleast half of the "hippy" want out of the babble- on life folks on the public dole in essence you are contributing to the shit in society as a whole,,,, and how in reality is this going to contribute to helping a community grow???
    As i said we aint damning anyone here ,, the old saying to each their own comes to mind,,,, but when i as a person am thinking of alternative lifestyles n plans for my future these are all things that come directly in my head n i want to know before heading of into such things,,,, cuz face it like it or not everyone in life has some sort of agenda,,,,, n to put myself and family into things i not only have to look at my own agenda but also that of those where i will be living....
    hope this helps a bit as to why this thread was started to begin with and sorry it took so long for me to get my butt on here n type a bit,,, buttttt weekends are the only large quantity times we have to get things done round here and that takes precedence over the computer,,,, needless to say all the critters now have their acre n half pasture to roam around in and the cabin got its first pressure wash and the greenhouse is now running with its lil woodstove n plants started...
    luv n lite

    everyone has there own ways of doing things . . . and none of them have been proven to work. i dont know much about the details here . . . but i dont think anyone should get bent out of shape, this is a good forum to be supportive and to SHARE ideas.

    I hope you aren't done with the forum Rabbit. Your community project was the one I was following the most. I like the location and your general ideas suite me fine. My plans are to save and work on my travel itenary for another year then it's job quitting time and off to travel for at least a year. I was planning on keeping up with your progess and stopping by when I hit your area. I don't want to make any major commitments just yet because it's a long way off and I haven't ever considered a community situation like this until now. I enjoy reading your forum posts because it helps me learn more about you and your plans.

    Hang in there man. Take care.
