Autonomy/Anarchy
why is it that I have to become an expatriot to find this kind of life?

I don’t mean that all the police activity is what I am looking for…or that random criminally conflicted persons trying to find shelter in my potting shed is what I am looking for…nor is the possibility of having my house burn down to the ground if it catches fire (that’s always a possibility though, regardless of the services available to you).
What I mean is that I want to live in a place, house, neighborhood, city, where ever I can find it, that is populated by people who understand ‘it’ and get ‘it’. What ‘it’ is to be a community and help out your neighbor…look out for yourself and your neighbor. I don’t want to live in a place where I have to privately OWN stuff to have some kind of feeling of control over what the hell is going on…I want to share the joy, the pain, the responsibility and work load. It is hard work (purposeful work) to make it happen and continue to happen.
I want my child(ren) to grow up in a community, not a network.
