One pooldlady examines her motives

Last night I was thinking about the negativitiy in many of these posts. . I don't consider myself a negative person in general. Most people do not care to read negative critiques. All around, negative items just make for a bad day and who needs it, right?

My frustration over feeling powerless, our gullibility, and our indifference at the whittling away of our choices -all are the negative themes that crop up in my rants.

Years ago, if one didn't like the social or community norms dropping off the social grid was an option. Move to the "country"-use propane, burn firewood..

As population increases, not many off grid sites are available to Grizzly Adams wannabes.

Why do I do it?

It isn't because I "relish" the negative.

The passion for justice and the heaviness in my heart for those who can't-gnaws away at me.

Silly me, believes it just isn't right.
