And you're right about education. For instance, all the people living in credit card debt, because they hadn't realized that just by paying the minimum they were *not* going to pay off what they had already spent. That's not an question of mathematics, but of awareness. Something was missing in their education: the realization that one needs to be intentionally aware of everything one does and of the consequences. That one creates a ripple of consequences with every little action (or inaction, for that matter)... Hi Brynn,

It is amazing how much of our society is based on or indebtedness. We send our children to school so that we can work to pay off our debt. We do not choose freely how we serve our community because our choices are weighed by our need to pay off debt. I will continue to support reform of our educational system and the belief that we must educate all, but here, in our family, our education is about creating a new paradigm of intentional living and that starts with intentional learning at home and in the community. Happy chicken finding. I envy your pursuit. I miss our laying ladies. I am with you here! It is amazing how much of our society is based on or indebtedness.
