Michael Stuart Kelly Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Off the GridHere are some videos I came across at Real Clear Politics, of all places:"The Independents" on FBN: Living Off The GridThese have some fascinating short peeks at a lot of interesting things to think about.Live Off The Grid - Urban Survival - The Independents Live Off The Grid - Fighting The NSA - The Independents Live Off The Grid - Escaping The Grid - Honduras - Hutt River - The Independents Live Off The Grid - Escaping The Grid - Doomsday Preppers - The Independents I like that story about the guy who declared war on Australia and now he's a prince.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 FYI:The ex-Governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura is now living "way" off the grid in the mountains of North Western Mexico. He is known as the big gringo. Such hateful people! Maybe 'ol Eric should send a team after them.Have you seen this movie?http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/off-the-map-2005I love this movie. It is quite moving at many levels.Instead, in a stealthy and touching way, it shows how people can work on one another. Charley may be depressed because of a chemical imbalance, or he may be stuck because his life offers him no opening for heroism. Arlene keeps herself entertained by surprising herself with her oddities; she handles financial emergencies by observing with detachment that sooner or later they will probably have to deal with them. Bo keeps busy writing letters to food corporations, complaining about insect parts found in their products, and composing personal questions for the Ask Beth newspaper column. William Gibbs starts to paint and completes a watercolor, 3 feet high by 41 feet long, showing the earth meeting the sky.It is not clear if William has joined them to heal, to escape or to die. But his presence in the family, which is accepted without comment, budges the emotional ground under Charley just enough so that he slides toward the edge of his depression. Perhaps it is William's undemonstrative love for Arlene, never acted on, that reawakens Charley's desire for this magnificent beast, his wife.The way she handles the IRS character is beautiful.A...
