Thank-you, Bobert! I hitch-hiked from Ireland to Morocco on money I saved working as a claims clerk for Medicare. My first act of dropping-out. Moving to an island was a second way of dropping out. I dropped out by giving birth at home, eating organic food, refusing to shop at Safeway, never eating at McDonald's, selling my car, growing my vegetables, baking my bread and hauling water. I also chopped wood. I dropped out by living on a boat. I dropped out by owning my floating home and not paying taxes. I drop out everytime I go against the status quo. I sold my car. I encourage environmental sustainability, recycling and walking. I try not to leave a very big footprint. I strive to make this a better world for all.

I'm also an educated, working adult that contributes to my community.

I haven't changed my attitude much, its just that I'm not as visible.

A hip attitude might just mean you're on the forward edge of the wave and happy being there.
