Cohousing-L Mailing List: The Declaration of Independence *had* to be a cohousing project!

[David Heimann (heimann.david]

Hello Fellow Cohousers,

           I like to post this message once a year around the Fourth of
July.  Aside from the humorous intent, it is indeed our country's 250th
anniversary, what it describes indeed reflects the cohousing atmosphere,
and we can really use the cohousing spirit in these challenging times!

Happy Independence Day,

P.S.-- Our 20th anniversary is this September.  Stay tuned for our exciting
events!



Hello Fellow Cohousers,


As I see it, the Declaration of Independence had to be a cohousing project.
After all:

        o  It took about a year to decide on it.

        o  The draft was written by a committee.

        o  It was adopted by consensus after virtually an infinite number
of meetings and discussions.

        o  The vote to declare independence took place on July 2, but by
the time they finished going over the document, removing whole sections,
rewording others, and finally voting to adopt the whole thing, it was July 4.

        o  It took the rest of the month to get the word out to all the
colonies.


        See?  It *had* to be a cohousing project!


Happy Independence Day!
