At this point in my life I am trying to find for myself as much independence from "the system" as possible.  This doesn't mean shutting myself off from other human beings.  It simply means that I don't want to be dependent on a system that doesn't seem entirely sustainable;  I don't want to be entirely dependent on an income from an outside source where I can be downsized or simply fired.  I believe the earth can provide everything w need for survival.  I am trying to develop a small homestead to provide for some of my needs.  I hope that writing articles here at hubpages will not only help me to learn a few things but also provide useful information to others.

Peace.
