Where have I been for the last six years and what’s coming up next? The last time I published a blog post was a little over six years ago now. It was called “Update to 2015 Plans.” Since then much has occurred. Here are some highlights. They include: Family Compound Explorations Trump and Political Activism…
In early 2018 I helped defeat two, major anti-homeschooling bills, introduced in the California State Assembly. What an empowering experience that was. When I first heard about the two bills, AB 2756 and AB 2926, and the child abuse case that inspired them, the Turpin case, I felt horrified and scared. I felt horrified about…
First published March 6, 2015 Since writing my last blog post “2014 in Review and Plans for 2015,” things have changed. For various reasons, I am planning to focus more on NLRBE-like businesses and family compounds, less on NLRBE-like intentional community legal structures, and not at all on either OAEC’s intentional communities course or Fair…
First published January 21, 2015 2014 was a busy year for my practice. It involved a great deal of outward, physical activity, including NLRBE-related travel and an NLRBE-related, family self-sufficiency experiment. I expect 2015 to be different. I am currently leaning towards less frenetic NLRBE-related explorations. Why? *Important Reminder* Please remember that, by using this…
First published October 26, 2014 My family and I are on a quest to find ingredients for creating NLRBE*-like intentional communities in the United States. To that end, my family and I took a two-week trip to Missouri in early September. That’s what this post is all about. *“NLRBE” stands for Natural Law/Resource-Based Economy. You…
Published August 30, 2014 This is the third and final post, in a three post series. The series questions some assumptions underlying libertarianism, from an NLRBE-informed perspective. It expands upon a written dialogue I recently had with a libertarian friend of mine. I thought the topic might interest other NLRBE-advocates. More specifically, the series covers…

Published July 31, 2014 The very next thing you will see from me is a three post, NLRBE-advocacy-related series, regarding libertarianism, after which the focus will shift back to intentional communities. Specifically, I will be shifting to a discussion of visits my family and I plan to take over the next three months to, not…
Published June 27, 2014 In our quest for community and NLRBE-style living and promotion, my family and I have been intrigued again with the idea of living in an intentional community someday. And we’ve been particularly curious about the community being an integral part of a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) entity. That is, I have wondered about…
