This may have been asked before, but....

Why is it EVERYBODY'S dream to, quit their job, get away from it all and live in a secluded "get-away" with their family, living off from the land (with a generator, or local power, TV, radio, computers/internet, JUST get AWAY).
[b]BUT[/b]
When someone actually does it, they are then immediately labled a kook, cult, militia member, a survivalists or just plain crazy??????????

It's not everyone's dream. There are a lot of people who want everything to be given to them so they can sit on their couch in front of their idiot box for the rest of their lives. It's so much easier to pass judgement on others from the comfort of your air conditioned or heated home with the bravery of being out of range.

What's up Bishop,

It isn't a Demo-dream. The Democraps want you to be an insect and live in a hive. With Janet Reno as Queen Hermaphrodite. They want to remove people from rural areas.

Earth in the Balance. For the children.

My wife and I have spent the summer building a log cabin on our 80 acres so that we can . . . HEY, are you talkin' to me?!!! We are not nutcases, militia (the "bad" kind) members, white supremacists (my wife's half Mexican), or whatever else you said. BUT, don't try to mess with my stuff. Just leave me alone (unless, of course any of you want to come by and shoot or turkey hunt, or deer hunt in north Missouri). [:D]

Living off the land sucks!! Just visit any third world country and you will understand.

Personally I want is a place where I can step onto my back porch and have a shooting range right there. But that includes water, electricity, grocery stores, etc.

Personally I like my work, but hate my job (does that make sense?).

Well, If anyone has land I'll work it and upkeep it for free for a couple years.

I don't think they actually call you a kook until you start writing your first Manifesto.
