Homestead mailing list

Glad you joined the group and are enjoying it. It's usually this
boisterous here! It's a good group of homestead types that don't mind
differing on politics.

I feel like the government knows as much about me as they did when I
was in the city. I work an outside job, so pay state and federal
income, state and local property taxes and there are lots of other
ways they can track me down.

I figure that in a national emergency it would be harder to corral me
here if I didn't want to be corralled than in town.
