I'm already involved with a group who does it. a mix of people, and they take hours to decide anything. patience and organization are the key, as well, as self-sufficiency (we don't use electric, except for solar, and have a yurt on the grounds, and will have our own artesian well soon and do have rain collection equipment.) So it is possible. But a lot of work. As for oregon - why is it undesirable? It's still pristine... I'd buy the land and do the building ourselves. Have plenty of books to explain how. But that's from a hearing perspective. Whether you can find enough deaf people willing to give up electricity and running water and the comforts of civilization is another story. me I have always been the independent sort and have always remembered that the French deaf of Massieu's time called themselves "men of nature" subject only to nature and not to the culture of the hearing (which they used as an excuse to proposition women, but then what men don't?) hey bobby - there’s a lot of groups who are doing just that - reclaiming the land. yeah, it takes a lot of logistics.

That fact wasn't presented all by itself in the article, but used with other findings to create a case of significant climate change in the northern polar region. I hope you aren't discounting that article altogether just because of that. The media has been far too balanced on this topic, giving equal say to both sides. It's nice to see the Post try and ramp up our alert level by printing this on the front page, above the fold. And your point is?
