When the flower people and hippies had children, and a mortgage, many saw no alternative but to cave in. Independence works for awhile, but not for long when the temperatures outside are freezing and the children need food.
One day I called the ministry of Lands and Forests in Canada where we lived and talked with an agent from that office. Although I knew what the answer would be, I asked nevertheless, "Was there a piece of free land available where one could build a home in British Columbia". The answer was quick... " You don't think we're going to give you free land do you"?
The point is that the agent was not among the one percent, but from the ranks of the 99%. It wasn't the answer that was revealing as much as the authority WE figure behind it.
