Well, since my last posting I found a flow in it: We have one member who works all the time - much of it community work, and he told me he has not joined any of the circles because he doesn't have time to cook. I immediately felt (and told) him that IMO he should, of course, be allowed to come without having to cook... (a seeming contradiction to what I had said before). This alerted me to the fact that when I talk about wanting everyone to cook, I'm making an assumption that by and large those who might try to get out of it do it in order to get out of doing work (yes, I do think that the world has quite a few lazy people in it, and some of them happen to live in intentional communities). On the other hand, I don't have any problem with giving a break to someone who works his butt off elsewhere for the benefit of us all. As to your suggestion of converting the unpleasant work into a "party", it reminded me of the description in "The Continuum Concept" (by Jean Leidlof (sp?) of the way the Indian tribe she had spent time with approached large work projects, such as building houses: It *was* a party, with eating and drinking, (I don't think they cared whether the walls turned out straight :)), and fun was had by all.
