We wish to gather and share ideas, inspiration and work as we build a world that we want to live in and one full of kindness and abundance to leave to our children.

The erosion of civil liberties in the United States has become increasingly clear since 2001.  This is evident over a broad spectrum of daily life, and is demonstrated by many examples that have been documented throughout this site.

This is an ominous trend.  Many current practices have the effect of intimidating people into silence.  Routine surveillance and data gathering techniques leave surprisingly little personal privacy.  With further erosion of the economy, and standards of living, all levels of government may react by “clamping down” on citizens by more direct means.  The tools and data to do this are already in place, and growing.

Discussing civil liberties will help us understand what is happening, and how we want to deal with that.  Protecting our civil liberties is critical.  The impact of  the Economy, Energy, and the Environment may bring this to a head.

Suggestions
This group was created as a central place for information and discussion that is currently scattered throughout this site.  In addition to new material, re-posts or links from within the site will be helpful.

Information will carry more weight if it is from your personal experience, or a story documented by a news source.  Avoid posting rambling “rants” by people who do that for a living.  However, their web sites may have links to documented sources with solid information.  The more specific the information the more persuasive it will be.  Try to minimize hype and maximize facts.  Many of these issues are cloaked in secrecy and deliberate distortion by those responsible.  Don’t expect clarity.  However, the pattern of events and the statements by authorities are telling.

While gun ownership is a civil liberty issue, it should be addressed in the Firearms Group.  Demonizing politicians you dislike is not helpful, as they are all complicit.  However, when specific politicians, or those who work for them, are linked to definable acts, they need to be exposed.

Let us redesign our financial system to be robust for future economic shocks. I believe that human mind is the resource which can think of such a monetary system and a fair transition plan from current monetary system.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. ~ Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)

Resiliency is about being able to do well (or "well enough") with the resources that are available to us.  Frugality is about creatively finding ways to get our needs met while using available resources as sparingly as possible.

Whether or not hard times have hit your household, it is prudent to learn to make the most of what we have and stretch our personal resources as far as they can go.  As the dollar decreases in value, this challenge will increase for many of us.  For some of us, job loss or income reduction have strained our budgets, our ingenuity, and perhaps our patience.  For others, times were always a bit tight and we're now trying extra-hard to find ways to afford to prepare for the future -- instead of simply coping with today.  For others, frugality allows more money to be freed up for investment, flexibility, and a sense of security.  For still others, along with the majority of people in the world, simply getting each day's needs met is challenge enough.

No matter what our situation, we can all benefit from sharing insights, strategies, tips and tricks, for living frugally and learning to live comfortably on less.  Join us here in sharing ideas and increasing our collective resiliency through frugal living!

This group will share ideas, experiences, and the adventures of learning with our children at home and in our communities.
