So yeah, I wonder where "Natural News" gets funding. Probably rigged as well. & if you need them to tell you that banks, large corporations & oil runs our lives, you've been living on top of a mountain for a while I reckon. Although even in Nepal, the Dalai Lama can't escape the long arm of the Chinese oppressors. If you think our system is rigged, try living there (China) for a while.

Speaking of mountains, that's where I go regularly in the winter & sometimes in the fall to recharge my batteries from the electronic, consumer driven society we like to call democracy today. A week or two in the backcountry skiing (climbing for turns that is) without a phone, internet etc really drives home how fortunate I(we) am(are) to live in this great country, despite all the paranoia, rigging, snake oil salesmen.....

Returned from a volunteer work week at Boulder Hut in the Purcells last weekend. With any luck, the owner Mark & his family from Idaho will give me a little discount on February's trip. If not, I feel good about contributing my bit to keep the place going. Nothing like a little bit of physical activity in a place few people get to see to realize that it's still the grass roots folks that really run the country. Here we are plotting our revolution near Boulder Pass on the hike out of the hut after chopping firewood for the winter. The guy on the left with the straw hat is Fernando from Argentina. He looks like Che Guevara & is a great inspiration to a group of budding revolutionaries like us.
