mr west, very nice pic, did you win that joint for the costume?
As to the six hundred living as a community. It's easier than you think, it all takes is the right attitude and people knowing the boundaries. There would be no need for everyone to like everyone, that is just not reasonable, we are after all human. I think you guys are picturing this as being on top of one another 24/7. When I was in that drug program, there was anywhere between one hundred and one hundred thirty people living in one BIG house. There were people in there I rarely spoke with, I just didn't care for them, but I never disrespected them and I was always civil. Civil being the key word. Everyone had a job. We would have breakfast a morning meeting and then everyone off to their job. Lunch everyone would get together again, after lunch we would have an hour of some type of activity, one day it was a woman who came in and taught us some yoga breathing exercises and how to relax your body and mind, and then we would go back to work for a couple of more hours and then it would be dinner and after dinner other activities or just sitting around shooting the breeze. There were also forty eight acres of land surrounding this place so you could wander all over. If you've ever seen the movie the stand, I kind of picture it like that, with no walking dude or trash can man.
