Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: (cohousing) communities' decision making premises

[Hans Tilstra (tilstra]

I'd prefer to live in a community that just doesn't seem quite as entangled
in "rights to bear arms" and other things we have to believe in.

In my opinion, cohousing's primary differentiator from communes or the
suburban quarter acre block is it's pragmatic approach. Hence, a pragmatic
discussion about smoking or guns will have a different, and in my opinion
more satisfying outcome than a dogmatic outlook.

So, is it foreseeable that someone will be harmed if another person gets a
gun? Is is foreseeable that smoking in the common room will detract from the
intentions of the common house?

regards,
