I don't know who is behind this site, but I have a few words. As I choose not to have TV reception, I happened to catch a glimpse, on someone else’s set, of what seemed natural living by a man named Eustace Conway. However, like with all things, I must question the picture. My logic lead me to believe that History Channel show, in which Mr. Conway plays himself, is a so called "reality TV" show. This being the case, you lead me to question the reality of it all. What is reality? View this as a philosophical question if you must. How real is real? IF an individual is living off the land, how might the land be providing internet access or telephone reception? It is possible that the phone is cellular in nature AND it is possible that he receives e-mail via the cell. Then again, the Turtle Island website mentions a computer. Beyond selling wood and teaching for profit, is the man Eustace Conway paid by History Channel to "perform" for them? I ask this because some things do not add up. I am not Smith nor are you O'Brien trying to have me see four when there are only three (*Orwell). Concerning the doe, feeding eight people for the winter is not possible based on the weight of the meat. My ex-husband used to hunt moose and that fed a few families for the winter, but there was about 800 lbs. of meat. So, what is the reality of it all?
*O'Brien, now Smith's inquisitor, tortures Winston with electroshock, showing him how, through controlled manipulation of perception (e.g.: seeing whatever number of fingers held up that the Party demands one should see, whatever the "apparent" reality, i.e. 2+2=5), Winston can "cure" himself of his 'insanity'...
