I'm not trying to pop your bubble, but what you suggest sounds pretty much like the communes of the Sixties and Seventies. Those didn't work out real well because too many folks were getting high and screwing off and not enough were doing the actual work.

Communes are good in theory, but no so great in practice.

JMHO
Yes that's obviously an important aspect, but I think I can appreciate my artistic side even more while being one with nature. Maybe you couldn't do it, well probably most people couldn't do it, but that makes me want to do it even more. I say fuck the major corporations that abuse their animals to make money. I say fuck being lazy and handing my mind to the television. Fuck the flow of society. People lived like that all their lives and didn't think twice about it. They worked hard and appreciated what they got. What is so wrong with that? I think it's sad that so many people are comfortable with this materialistic, easy life. How can one truly find themselves in a world eith so many distractions?
