Southern_Man 0 #26 April 21, 2011 QuoteOK... where to begin... QuoteWi Fi in the campground! Is that so cool or what! For eight dollars a day!!! And when I paddle just outside the campground I stay for free! The campground pays to have and provide wi-fi. If you're staying just outside the campground, but helping yourself to their spill-over wi-fi, knowing that their wi-fi is a service/product for which they expect to be paid, it's possibly theft of services; and even if technically it's not, it's unethical. Morally, I think you should voluntarily pay them a pro-rata amount for the use of their wi-fi. QuoteI think that is what the Creator intended. That we all live for free. Do you think differently? I think you've got "living free" confused with "living for free". QuoteThere are brown trout here ,Andy, fifteen feet below my canoe and the water is so clear I can see every detail of their facial features! Cool! Who do you recognize? QuoteThe other day I walked up on a black bear. He noticed me at about the same time I realized what he was. At first glance I thought he was a big dog and looked up to engage his owner in conversation. Dogs don't talk. Except for Brian Griffin, but he's a special exception. QuoteLife is good here Andy! Carry on, Don Quixote. It's Ok Andy, Lak Jocassee is a state park, so instead of actually living for free he is actually living off of the taxes of other people. Wonder if they have a bridge at that lake?"What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Listen Andy, I'm a mature and moral man . I pay my way and I would never attempt to "get over" on anyone. I believe the majority of the people in the USA are of the same mindset. We pay our way! Now here is a question for you Counselor , of course you aren't required to answer it. Considering the fact that the government has lied to the people, are the people still obligated to fund the government?

Here is what I've done recently . Ive started to raise chickens. They don't need much space and with three hens I get 3 eggs every day and a half. Also I am growing lettuce next to the lake! I've got three types growin and they are doing amazingly well!! A boiled egg cut over organically grown lettuce every day? Now that is living!! As far as the Kings brown Trout, I'm sure I haven't harvested any of those tasty morserls!!!

I'm not sure whether the Creator intended that or not mr Bill Von. I guess that the fact of my usage is evidence that the Creator did intend for me to use this system!!!

Some of my favorite experiences are tent 'living' for 2 weeks at a time, along the Mississippi River, & our week long camping trips to the Nicolet National Forest...bathing in the lake, ( I don't in the river) staying up til 3 -4 am. just watching the stars, & barges..over a campfire ! If everyone spent just an hour a day in the wilds of nature... whether jigging for the elusive walleyes, waiting for a transient turkey, or just walking through taking in the smells & sounds...we'd all be better people for it ! If it continues like it is... more will have the experience by force, not by will, however !

Cool! Last night we had broccoli and carrots from our CSA, and the day before that we had a souffle made with green eggs from our friend Terry, who has more chickens than she knows what to do with. Also had some beer from Tomme, who makes some really good Belgians. Our old garden is generating peas right now (they're overgrowing everything) and the tomatoes are getting a pretty good start. Not sure how the grapes will do; we sort of inherited them and I have no idea how to care for them.
