I found this forum a few years ago and did a lot of lurking. Now I suppose it's time to become active in what appears to me to be a gathering of many folks that are, at least partially, like minded.
I have always know that others considered me to be weird, and deservedly so. I do not follow other people's ideas on how I should live. I consider all available information and make up my mind and seldom does it brand me as "normal".
I am a Christian and my political beliefs are all over the place. I do think that we need MUCH less government. I find most people to be intolerant of other's beliefs and, to me, that is unacceptable. We all have the right to our own opinions and actions as long as they don't infringe upon others.
I am a 52 year old divorced man (14 years ago) with two wonderful daughters and four fantastic grandchildren. I am retired (just got fed up with working within the system and walked away) and frequently have little money. But I am OK with that.
Living sustainably, becoming close to self sufficiency while doing as little harm to the earth as possible is my goal. I recently read a book titled "Twelve By Twelve" and found it opened my eyes and drew many of my loosely formed philosphies together.
Sorry this is so poorly written and long.
