Переглядів 6 тис.12 років тому

Look how STILL the momma is!! That's so cool u get to see stuff like that in ur backyard!! We have a lot of wildlife here as well, but no deer! U are blessed❤
We live in a small Pennsylvania city. There are a lot of woods up the hill from us, but several does choose to raise their fawns in the back yards around here.

Capitalism mainly benefits the customer and should be called Customerism. No one is forced to buy from or work for anyone - all transactions are voluntary. The customer freely chooses to enter any transaction and does so for his/her benefit. If the capitalist doesn’t serve the customer he/she will fail. It is truly “Power to the People”. It incentivizes work, innovation and progress. It decentralizes wealth and therefore power. It has raised more people out of poverty than any other system in human history. It has done more to improve the quality of life for everyone on the planet than any other system in human history. Ask yourself - would you rather live in China under Mao or in China today now that it has accepted private property and markets? This doesn’t mean there is no role for government - prevention of monopoly and abuse of workers apply. Turning over control of all the money to the same people who control all the guns is not a really good idea. Fascism/Socialism/Marxism is “Power to the State”. It incentivizes centralization of control. It has given the world Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Chavez, Maduro, the Kim family etc. etc. etc. Marxists have murdered well over 100 million of their own citizens - a number only exceeded in murders by Muslims. While the private sector is rewarded for efficiently satisfying customers, the public sector is rewarded by loyalty to superiors and amassing and centralizing power. Public sector bureaucrats are in fact punished for efficiency and problem solving - they lose funding and therefore status and power. Every page, every sentence, every word of legislation and regulation is fertilizer that enables public sector bureaucrats to grow the bureaucracy and the power of the state. Consider for example: • Today the US federal government debt is over $23 trillion yet come the end of the fiscal year every federal government bureaucracy will do everything it can to spend every last dollar of its budget. • What has the Environmental Protection Agency accomplished other than insuring “dirty” jobs and processes move to such ecological wonderlands as China, India, Bangladesh, etc.? • Why is American education poorer but vastly more expensive today than before the creation of the Department of Education? • What has the Department of Energy accomplished re energy independence - the ethanol lunacy which is depleting the Ogallala Aquifer? • Look at Income Tax law. Why is the cost of compliance (time wasted, litigation, record keeping, mal-investment, fraud, 100K+ IRS workforce, preparer fees, etc.) with our 70,000+ page Income Tax Code approaching half a trillion dollars a year? From Chinese economist Zhang Weiying: "We human beings always seek happiness. Now there are two ways. You make yourself happy by making other people unhappy - I call that the logic of robbery. The other way, you make yourself happy by making other people happy - that's the logic of the market.” Which way do you prefer?
Are Republican's and Conservatives WELCOME????
That depends on how you feel about LGBTQ folks, pagans, and peoples of color. Twin oaks is only intolerant of intolerant people.
@@mickey9852 seems a bit intolerant of them.
@leecarleton The photos were taken during the Intentional Communities Conference in August 2011. Hadn't been there in about 15 years. It was a good reminder of the possibilities for human civilization.
@URstudents I'm glad you approve of the re-broadcast in this format. I grew up in Richmond and first tuned in to WDCE about 25 years ago. It's nice to see the station is still turning people on to things outside the mainstream.
Nice expansion of the interview! Official Twin Oaks images really help listeners get a better idea of what the community is like. Such intentional communities are the survival technology of the future for sure.
