You didn’t read my post either. I guess nobody did.

it used to be that Freepers were a serious lot, with plenty of intellectual horsepower. So far, all I’ve seen is knee-jerk reactions to keywords.

I guess I’ll monitor this until it falls off the radar, but it appears that this is not the place to find serious people anymore.

That is not the way to win hearts and minds.

I guess I didn’t address your concerns directly.

Many of us are off-grid, or out of the dependency loop already. Self-sufficiency is not a novel concept.

I can’t extract myself much more from the “system” at present.

There is already an underground economy. There are already people raising food and animals out of the mainstream market.

What am I missing?

This is very true and I have noticed the same problem in the past 10 years.
