Thanks for posting the photo of the Nearings. It's hard to believe that just 30 years ago , they were role models for many of our generation. This generation? Their heroes are American Idol & Dancing with the Stars!flyboy55 wrote:lati2d wrote: . . .
Flyboy - I bet less than 1% of BNer's have even heard of Helen and Scott Nearing - let alone would subscribe to their " Living the Good Life". They were my heroes in the 70's and I have probably 30 of Scott's books( mostly on politics). My wife and I made the pilgrimmage to their home in 1978 and it was one of the most memorable days of my life.
He would truly roll over in his grave if he saw what direction this country has headed in. Thanks for bringing up thier names . . .
Mine too.
