I've been reading the Cage Free Family Blog and I look forward to the sporadic updates as they continue with their adventure. I'm not looking to do anything as far as going off grid, but its been inspiring to read of one family's efforts to do so (as well as blogs of other readers commenting with their own blog urls). As I try and scale down the stuff and scale up the love, friendship and experiences in my life, reading about these folks' bare-bones approach to things is thought provoking.
Their experience at The Gathering (a big hippie-type camp out) turned violent. More details are coming of course, but here's a taste of it:

I hope to learn more about this and hope that the local media, ACLU and other organizations get more information out there. People are so scared of the strange that they are very quick to attack. Hopefully some coverage of these events may help folks stop and think before reacting like this.
