It's seems like everyone is ready to ex-communicate them. I can't help wondering if they were to back-track and apologize if we'd welcome them back to the community. Perhaps I'm naive. And more sadly, perhaps they aren't willing to make that move.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570718941895225222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733417645352174190.post-81180519573619984912011-02-24T10:31:31.155-08:002011-02-24T10:31:31.155-08:00I agree with El Gaucho in that one of the really n...I agree with El Gaucho in that one of the really nice perks to this whole situation is suddenly finding so many others doing the same thing!<br /><br /> Unintentionally.. the result of their actions is instead of becoming singularly noticed for what they do... to a LOT more people aware of others as well doing similar things.<br /><br /> I respect what they have accomplished.. but literally their groundwork was laid out by others before them, and practiced by many long before they tried to lay claim to it. It feels the same as Monsanto walking in and patenting heirloom strains they got out of a seed vault.<br /><br /> It is the shutdown of precious sites that upsets me. <br /><br /> They seem to have forgotten the golden rule in all irony. (Also a non religious person.. but I can't find fault with "do onto others as you would have them do unto you" as a humanity guideline.)<br /><br /> Still that silver lining shines brightly, and I am so happy to have found you because of it!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159095601570766616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733417645352174190.post-61275323359879844002011-02-22T12:37:22.635-08:002011-02-22T12:37:22.635-08:00Well said!

Old canning posters and pictures, pictures of Little House on the Prairie, and many others. That's copyright issues there. I hope the true owners of those pictures find them on their site without the proper credit, acknowledgment, or permission to use them on their blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733417645352174190.post-11164259312156099612011-02-18T08:25:34.349-08:002011-02-18T08:25:34.349-08:00Glad to hear I'm not the only one feeling sad ...Glad to hear I'm not the only one feeling sad and embarrassed for the D's. What were they thinking? Even if they take it back, in reaction to the outrage, they have pretty much lost the support of their Urban Homesteading community. What a shame that greed got the best of them. :-(<br />And, you're right on (as usual) that there is nothing new under the sun.

Anywho I grew up on the South Side of Chicago and we had one Asian family on our block and they too used their whole yard to grow ever imaginable veggie, front yard too!
