Your husband is not a homesteader. The reason a homesteader does not
fit in an intentional community is because of the wide streak of
independence. I may be poor and this land may be poor, but by the
gods, it is my land and I do whatever I jolly well choose to do with
it. I plant what I choose to plant and when I choose to plant it.
Don't trick me with that consensus stuff. Just leave me be.
