Living Off the Grid and Green Baiting

Interesting mini-interview with Nick Rosen, a proponent of living “off the grid.”

I especially liked this quote from him:

I rather like Thoreau because he was also a part-timer. He walked back to have his mother do his washing on Fridays. For him, it wasn’t a religion- it was a beautiful philosophical experience. It wasn’t a competition to see who could wear the hairiest hair shirt.

Naturally, right below the religious greens immediately start complaining that his hair shirt isn’t hairy enough…

Update: Link fixed.
