shadowy primitive wants to start a commune

Oh my.

The shadowy primitive, the part-time taxi-cab driver in upstate New York; the primitive who lives in a drug-infested neighborhood and wants to get out--another primitive once invited the shadowy primitive to move in with him down in Arkansas, and the shadowy primitive couldn't remember where Arkansas was (the shadowy primitive thought Arkansas had a coastline)--the primitive who in late middle-age entertains delusions of literary grandeur.

Hmmm.

The shadowy primitive's experience in communications is chitchatting with passengers in the back seat.

Yeah, we all know how good the crooked tale primitive is, at reproducing.

The crooked tale primitive produced some sons, and then forgot all about them for nearly a decade.

And then when two of the three joined the military, the crooked tale primitive got all worried.

9. Cool, cool.
   
I'm not a bad cook either, I tell a mean joke and I like a good days work.

All kidding aside, if someone really did this, I'd be one of the first people there.

You know,I would take my chances on a commune of CC folks long before I would any DUmmy infested one.

Somehow I don`t think sitting around rambling on over batcrap crazy conspiricy theories or wailing on about how unfair life is will cut it.

I would love to see them do this.  20% of them, the 20% that ended up doing all the work so the others could survive, would be voting conservative the rest of their life .... IF they managed to survive at all.  They would all be trying to 'out disable' each other and nothing would get done would be my best guess though.

I'm oftentimes reminded of a historical precedent, when reading about "communes."

The father of the 19th-century authoress Louisa May Alcott, founded a commune near Boston, the idea being to gather all the New England "intellectuals" together so they could intellectualize.

Which of course they did.

But while they were sitting around intellectualizing, Bronson Alcott's wife and daughters were stuck with trying to eke out food for the commune; they being women, and frail at that, the commune almost starved to death.

In a nutshell, that's pretty much the history of just about any "commune" experience.
