Dave,

That's a great story! I kind of got the same impression about them--because so many of them want so badly to continue to stay on at the communes (they don't let freeloaders hang out--everyone MUST be working or contributing somehow), they'll do what they must to stay there. They like their "alternative lifestyle", like the peace of living away from the hustle and bustle of the regular world, free to practice whatever religion they choose, free to express themselves however they like--and I guess that works for them. I'm a pretty tolerant individual--I figure if they're happy, that's great.

One of the things this man told me was that many of them would love to have the chance to just make an extra couple hundred bucks a month, as that would give them the opportunity to live at the commune year-round (I think there's probably times of the year, like in the winter, when they can't really work the fields to help grow things, or do any kind of work like that, so they have to go back to living somewhere else, wherever that is).

I guess part of the lesson I wished to impart too, was to never prejudge who may be interested in your products, services or opportunities. You will never know..unless you ask.
