From: Judy Baxter, Monterey Cohousing, Minneapolis, MN I agree with Rob, *and* disagree. <In my experienced opinion, people who are so afraid of communes that they stop listening, will NEVER be involved in any cohousing project anyway. So worrying about them is a waste of your time. Rob Sandelin > I see a continuum of intentional communities - with cohousing towards the *individualistic end*, i.e. private, self sufficient homes, a 'non-ideology ideology (good point, whoever said that) . My impression is that the word "commune", mostly inaccurately, evokes images of more sharing, less privacy, sometimes required meal attendance, + (sometimes) the Woodstock images and statements about sex and drugs that Fox network prefaced to their story about us. I don't think you have to be "afraid" of communes to prefer a different kind of community, and you may well be attracted to cohousing and not to your concept of a commune. So, I don't think we should panic about the "c-word", but pay attention to the message we send.
