United States
 Can I ask you a few quick questions? How long is your commute to work? How much is your rent? More than $1000 for a one bedroom closet? Have you ever had to face the question, "Should I pay my utilities bill this month or eat?" Are you a Generation X'er who remembers when you used to catch lightening bugs in jars & you lived in the city? Do you have noisey neighbors... or paper thin walls? Do you breathe hot exhaust fumes everyday in your commute to work? Have you ever wondered if there was a place where there was no crime... no drugs... no winos begging you for spare change... no homeowners association telling you what color you can & cannot paint your own house? Would you like to reconnect to the mother earth? You could get fixes to all those problems and so many other bonuses. This is the Utopia I am working to build.
This will be a true egalitarian community. Based on the times we are living in. This is 2009 people! We should not have homeless people wandering the streets at night looking for a place to sleep. Everyone should be guaranteed that their belly's are full. Healthcare should not be the plague it has become! Working should be a guaranteed position. That is the reason behind this community! If you are guaranteed the basic necessities in life then you don't really have to lead to jail time because you cannot afford the necessities. Food should not cost you $6 - 8/gallon for milk. Lemons should not cost you a dollar per lemon.
Prices keep escalating and yet our salaries stay the same, get cut, or you lose the very thing that this country runs on. M O N E Y! No one wants to admit it, so I will. Its no longer the 10ft black cow standing in the corner. And whats up with the banking system? If you are a bank... your working with what people? Money... Okay if its your job to store money... and you need the government to bail your butt out... YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WORK WITH MONEY!!! Thats just logic... common everyday good sense. Its getting to the point of everyone going back to the bank of Sealy Posterpedic. Thats where you hollow out your mattress and fill it with your cash.
Thats why I want to start this community. That's my driving force. I want to teach our children the compassion and love that I was brought up with. If we don't care then they won't care. Please go to my site, some of my philosophies are there and you can sign up to join us. After the funding is there, we'll move swiftly.
