Yep this show is about active anarchy, didn’t put that in the title so it would not immediately shut down people that do not know what real anarchy is.  Anarchy is not spoiled young adult children living in the parents basements, listening thrash music and playing games while wearing a black shirt with an A on it. Anarchy is not burning down buildings, demonstrating in the streets or being a non conformist by getting the same tattoo 5,000 other people have.  It isn’t hating everyone who is a cop or works for “the system” while you yourself take advantage of … Continue reading →

This show is designed only to make you think and think deeply about many issues.  In my view our society doesn’t do enough thinking, many people have claim to think and say stuff like I think _____ should be or not be done.  This is not thinking though, this is stating an opinion, often one that the person hasn’t really thought very much about. Thinking about an issue or a problem and how to solve it requires a total consideration of all sides, views and a review of all facts and theories about the concept.  We don’t do this very … Continue reading →

The first time I used the phrase “from home to homestead” on the show was quite a while ago.  How long ago you ask?  That would have been Episode 20 recorded on July 22, 2008.  This concept so resonated with people it became not just a common discussion topic, it actually inspired one couple (Johnny Max and his wife, AKA “The Queen”) to run an entire podcast for a number of years on the concept. I realized while we talk a ton about the concept of homesteading we have not looked at it from this angle in a while, so … Continue reading →
