Homestead mailing list

Leslie, thanks.  That was an excellent reply.  Perhaps I should buy what the 
young folk call a 'hoodie' ?  ;-)

Any more good ideas about remaining as anonymous in one's activities as 
possible?  To do everything you just suggested would mean becoming what?  A 
bum  ;-)  ?

What is a man without, ID, Credit, Property, Recognition?  Is he still a man?

You do realize I'm being factetious in a way that is antagonistic of 
government/corporatism, not your suggestions.  I would, seriously, be happy 
to hear any more ideas from you , on this subject matter.  It sounds though 
you have more knowledge than the average person.

P.s.  Once again, you forgot to dd the homestead address in your reply.  Your 
message (below) only came to me.

p.s.s.  I just found a way to listen to a an oldies music channel (and others 
I haven't yet tried) on the internet while I'm typing , reading, and doing 
business.  We are close to the same age, the link is http://www.sky.fm/ .  it 
is free.  Maybe everyone else already knew about this, but I don't own a 
radio.  The channel is only music, no commercials or talking
