It’s no secret that an opposition to sustainable living exists. Earlier this year, Texas state brought several SWAT teams to a sustainable community and threatened to shut it down. Each one of the community members were initially handcuffed at gunpoint. It was called “The Garden of Eden Community,” and was totally self sustainable. You can read more about that here.
This time, it’s Robin Speronis that’s come under fire. She lives off the grid in Florida, completely independent of the city’s water and electric system. A few weeks ago, officials ruled her off-grid home illegal. Officials cited the International Property Maintenance Code, which mandates that homes be connected to an electricity grid and a running water source. That’s just like saying our dependency on corporations isn’t even a choice. The battle to live without most utilities has been ongoing for Robin, the self-sufficient woman has lived for more than a year and a half using solar energy, a propane camping stove and rain water.
In the end, she was found not guilty of not having a proper sewer or electrical system; but was guilty of not being hooked up to an approved water supply.

Is'nt freedom great!? You have the freedom NOT to smoke weed, a naturally growing plant the founding fathers smoked, you have the freedom to be mandated to connect to the water and electric grid, and you have the "freedom" to pay your taxes (income tax is illegal) or be thrown in jail, and you have the freedom to vote for corrupt jokers from 2 parties which are the same party.. ahh freedom, can you smell it? It smells goooood. Just make sure you're paying the ransom to the utility companies, or "freedom loving" "peace officers" might come after you.
