Is living off the Grid now a crime? Apparently living off the grid, off the land and without government assistance is now a crime that can land you in jail and cause you to lose your home.
Government officials across the country are forming so called �nuisance abatement teams� to intimidate people into giving up their land or conforming to the governments demands and hooking back into the grid. Counties across the country are actually jailing people for living the way they want to live.
I was alerted to this video by a reader and was troubled and sickened by what the poor people in the California Desert are being forced to deal with. From being threatened with jail time if they don�t hook back into the grid to being thrown in jail because the county didn�t like the look of their homes, the people in the deserts of Los Angeles County are being terrorized by their government.
Councils and planners -- these agencies need to see the light of day.
We are having a minor hassle up here with traffic circles -- they are being put in with no consideration for the increase in fender-benders and lost time.
I used to live in Boston back in the 1970's and they were all over the place.
I was back there a few years ago for a friends memorial service and all of the circles had been removed except for the huge one (half-mile diameter) on the way to Cape Cod.
As the city council members are elected, it would be interesting to see what engineering and construction firms contributed to their campaign...
