About two years ago I came across this website and started informing myself on what was really going on in this world. It was a bit of a scary ride (my husband having ripped off his blinkers a lot longer before me) but invoked long discussions with my husband, who wanted to leave the UK and move somewhere to try to start a self sufficient lifestyle, further away from consumerism etc.
I never thought i had the guts to do it. Never thought I could move away from all the things I thought I needed and wanted.
Time flies, we moved 10 months ago to Portugal, on a shoestring, but have this summer managed to at least not having to buy our fruit and veg as we're growing it ourselves. It's a bloody steep learning curve, with some hillarious moments and sweating blood sweat and tears, especially since we've got animals now as well!
What i wanted to say, mainly thanks to this site and reading what others had to say about peakoil, I've opened my eyes.
Thank you.

You are sincerely welcome.
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

I think it's that nasty clown again.

It is easier to enslave a people that wish to remain free then it is to free a people who wish to remain enslaved.
