That video was great; it made me feel much better about FSW. I like how they were saying something like “every time a group of people move in together and try to change it all it fails”. That is so true, and as I understand from all my scrounging around on this site, any of the members who had made the move already, want to do no such changing; they just want to join the community that is already in place. Where ever you all have landed fits your individual plans, you just happen to also have this connection to likeminded people on the internet also. From all of my reading I have not felt persuaded one way or another by force. People just put things out there for me to take in or reject as I feel fit.
As for the original topic; I always get irked when we do not use FRN’s as a medium or exchange and the gv feel’s that they should get their piece of the pie too. I like to think of it this way…
If I was physically able, I could have pulled out my shovel and moved a pile of dirt from one side of my yard to the other. I’m not, so I had my buddy come down and do it for me. He likes to drink so I give him a case of beer for the labor. Being a good buddy, he splits the case with me that night. Here’s the rub, my liberal, hand out taking neighbor called the tax collector. The next morning the assessor shows up and explains that the payment I gave should be reported and the payment my buddy received should also be reported, and taxes would be due. We ask how much would be due, he said it could be anywhere between 10-29%. I looked at my pal and saw that he was as disgusted with the situation as I was. My buddy surprises me by telling the assessor he would like to pay his percentage right now, and proceeds to vomit about a third of what he drank the night before all over the man’s face!
Ok, I just made that up, but it makes me feel better…
