This last column has generated more positive feedback than anything I've ever written. Thank you so much to everyone who's written me about it, it was really wonderful to get such a nice response.

I was really disillusioned about it for some time, but I've been getting inspired again lately about Project Drop Out, Tune In… Some things financially have gone alright for me, and I really think that raising the capital for aquiring a large piece of ranchland is possible… Think what we could do with 200,000 acres.
The question I suppose is exactly how many people would be interested in getting involved… Would you spend $2,500 for a 50 acre parcel of private land with fresh running water, and with access to a 100,000 acres of shared land? That's sort of the set up I'm thinking about. I have zero interest in a commune. I'm too much of a sociopath for that. But I have a lot of interest in a community where people live free and independent, but support their neighbors.
The tentative plan right now is to do a whirlwind South American tour within the next months (my business partner is down there right now on related work), and then probably get a nice place in Buenos Aires for a year when our lease here expires. That would give us time to do the visas and everything legit (and get my Spanish solid)… And even if it doesn't pan out, it'll cost us less money to live in Buenos Aires for a year than living in Toronto, even factoring in travel.
