[I had put my reply to this in my "drafts" folder last night, thinking I didn't want to send it unless I read in the morning with a clear head and still liked it. Having read Catherine's letter this morning, I think mine is pretty tame. One thing I would be careful about, Catherine, is assuming things about other people's pasts. I, for one, tend to get pretty huffy when people do that to me. Let's just stick to what we know.] > Allen, your examples remind me of communes in the 60s. Free love, flower > power, groovy baby.

It's pretty shaky ground, asking a community to make a decision about whether or not to "support" a particular lifestyle. I don't see it happening. That's one of the many reasons some people choose cohousing instead of a more familial intentional community. -- Liz Stevenson Southside Park Cohousing Sacramento, California
