yeah
i dont even know what to think of this problem
other than that our subisities are fucked up
realistically, you want your rep to ask for money to go to good causes, instead of bridges to nowhere
but do you want a rep who doesnt bring home ANY new jobs or money, or ones that bring home some jobs and money
the first one is a bad husband, divorce him
I feel like our country is just too big, nobody cares any more, they just want a slice of the money
well, yeah, but thats human history
dunbar's number is a thing
perhaps if states had greater control this would be less of a problem
instead of the federal governemnt taking the money and then giving it back in such a messy process
my people tried that idea a while back
:dixie:
i think that the small government conservative states rights folks definitely have it closer to correct than the alternatives, but no system is perfect
no system is immune from bad constituents I guess
its incredibly hard to vote with your feet these days though, and that is one of the appeals of states rights
dont like what the state's doing? move to one that better aligns with your views
but man thats an expensive suggestion
but moving away from the federal government is alot harder
yeah, sort of
If anyone could help find a good data base for phyto related articles or plant filtering systems
For those interested in homesteading, I recommend researching hydroponics and/or verticle farming
could be a useful supplement to your homestead stategy
I HIGHLY recommend reading "teaming with microbes" by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis
It will completely change the way you look at soil and the life within it
Not as hard as you may think. Buy up land, divide it into smaller parcels, build houses, sell them to a few dozen of our own, bring in more people and build some facilities, set up a council, hold a vote to incorporate into a single town, become a town.
An unincorporated community gets its services from the county without paying municipal taxes, so frivolous town-founding can be a bad idea. Why might you want to incorporate? First, you could be heading off annexation by a nearby city. The residents of what is now DISH, Texas were afraid of being annexed by Fort Worth. If their land had become part of the city, they'd have faced the high property taxes used to cover social services in less affluent areas. Second, unincorporated communities have very little control over what gets built in the area. But towns can control their own zoning—and thereby protect their property values.
Essentially, building a town from scratch = total freedom
The hardest part will be getting around a hundred or so people to justify incorporating as a town. We can start with what we have and grow from there.
