Sigh. People are so... ?blind? ?uncaring?

Think of us as a bell some saints some evil with a lot of real folks in
between.

For those of us who do see, this is puzzling at best. Shouldn't
the life of the planet, of its flora and fauna, outweigh things
like monoculture lawns?

Got watch our with the idea that before you can comment one has to
remove the stake in ones own eye.

I was thinking about this a tad (well, I frequently think about
the issue as a whole, since there are constant reminders of it in
life) and thought I would relate one little thing. I knew that a
former relationship had NO hope when the other party said casually
said that he used pesticides and herbicides to appease his
neighbors. Casually. As if it made no difference!

Your other may have changed in time.

It would be nice for all if like-minded people could live in some
sort of community.

A commune ! Well communes are made of people some like "The Farm aka
Steven Haskin's" and some like "Jonestown aka Jim Jones" . Like minded
folks may sound neat but differences may promote growth and afford the
idea of progress to unfold. Nation states can fall in this likeness
trap very easily.

I had hoped to move someplace where MY views
would not bother neighbors, but now I have no idea where I am
moving to....

No one will notice if you take a low key approach and keep your views
to yourself . Where ever you move to there you are . Hippie stuff
could hell myself.

I am rambling....

I'm attracted to rambling myself but also encourage social
interaction / studies. May learn new tricks )

anyone else thinks."
