Timmr<< this is how itwill stay too Bro, if we cant find a way for many to pull together , don't care what anyone call it , commune , what ever , as many as can pull together , that stuff opened many doors in the 60'o early 70'o , everybody had a little job to do to help the place run smooth , as well as out side jobs , but when it was time to roll out , everyone in each commune would pull together and be boots on the ground where ever it was we needed to be , we had backers that helped us set up , some times it was just barrowed land , some times it was old trailer parks , sometimes we even had to hall our water in , set up kitchens , the backer we had owned fishing boats , I worked for him for about 14 years , 2 weeks on 1 week off , but on the commune I was head of percurement , I bought food as well as hooked up all the free stuff , I was also camp cook if I had time , at night everyone talked about what it was that we were trying to do , always looking for fresh ideas , we made signs , people that worked strait jobs payed the backer each month , he made money , and always seen to things like making sure we had power and what not , we made stuff like candels , and many things to sell , everyone was having a good time , and we pulled together , at some points we had well over 500 people , there was another commune down the road that had like between 300 and 400 people , there was one up nocal , and that place was not only big but , many great people , john trudell was at many of the west cost communes , as well the one I was living , we helped put them up because we sheared a common walk , this is the kind of thing that brings in many , and gives everyone more power to better wake people up , I aint any good at blog , but I can carry a sign , and if things turn bad , I am 1 of the guys you want on front line I am willing to help at all times , it would be great if we could all be in the history books as the next freedom movement , everyone of us need to be free , not just the ones that can afford it , but this is what we need , then the ball moves like steam roller rather than a snail that just keeps getting stepped on
