Fare well, Bev. See you on Facebook.

It is better to die a free man, than to live, a slave.

Well, my friends, it is time for me to simplify my life and leave the
homestead list for good. It is hard to believe now, considering the normality
of silence, but it used to be a lively place that I could visit to find
people who were willing to lay it all out there on any subject. I credit this
list for getting me interested in politics and in homesteading issues like
NAIS, permaculture, and alternative energies. I've been on the list for the
better part of 15 years, and in that time, you all have molded into the
person I am today. For the last 5 or more years, I've started probably more
than a third of the conversations on this list, for better or worse, in
trying to keep the spark alive and to continue my own learning and
understanding. Now, I am forced to look elsewhere for intellectual
stimulation and debate on issues. As an aside, I have to say that according
to my own definition of homesteading, I am no longer a homesteader, just a
poor person with a cabin in the boonies and a bunch of chickens. I don't
belong here anymore, and it seems hypocritical to call myself a homesteader
and organic gardener/rancher when I have to take engineered biologic drugs to
function.

Many of you are on Facebook, and I thoroughly enjoy following your life
journeys there. I hope that I might continue to be a part of your lives
there. If you aren't on Facebook, but you still want to keep in touch, you
can always email me directly (erthnsky AT gmail.com), but this is my last post
to Homestead.

Peace, out..

Bev

all that sisu means, but it combines the following ideas: guts, pep,
determination, stubbornness, perseverance, hardiness, stamina, go, do,
nerve, spunk, pluck, and grit. It's like "Just Do It!"& "Go for It!")
