Our Forum of June 22nd

We had a very nice time. We watched the documentary that we produced to talk about the 1984 police raid on our community in Island Pond Vermont. It brings up a lot of issues in out society. How much authority do parents really have? How much authority does the state have? What separates these two? We spent some time talking about the emerging culture that our community is, and why that threatens some people. Early in the film, one of the states attorneys states that  the failure in island pond set a precedent that “for sure” would not be repeated in at least 50 years. Here we are not quite 25 years out, and it is being repeated. There is an erosion going on that can only lead to one place, that time when all of the earth is going to beholden to one man…. and without his approval, no one will buy or sell.  There is a predicament out there that needs a solution, and often it seems as though that only solution left is to leave that society…..
