Walsingham Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/6380821.stm I've just read all the attached stories on this issue on the BBC website, and I can confidently pronounce these people contemptible fools. They lie to the locals about their planning permission and intentions then claim they didn't lie but 'kept things secret'. Then they claim to be whole earth but use gas bottles when their stoves won't light and chainsaws when chopping wood looks boring. I'd have little affection for them if they were doing it properly, but at least I might respect their commitment. I encourage you to read through the articles and enjoy. "It wasn't lies.

Gorth Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false! ... Yes, precious, false!

Gorgon Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) Hobbits vs zoning comission. I'll root for the Hobbits thank you very much. Weak spot for hippies I guess. It's ain't easy to attain fully fledged eco-hippiedom, much less build a village out of tarpaulin nobodys perfect.

LadyCrimson Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I don't really understand. Do they own the land or not? The articles keep saying they bought the land but ... and are they actually bothering anybody? Is it a health hazzard with their one compost heap loo? I don't see an objection enough to evict them - if they own the land. If they're more like, renting it, well, that would be different. They may not be perfect with their low-impact lifestyle but I don't really care myself - what's the issue about the land? Just that it's not zoned for residential or something? “Things are as they are.

Walsingham Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Can't believe you're siding with the hippies. It's precisely about the fact that no one's perfect. These people are pretending that they are when they are manifestly liars and hypocrites. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Sand Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 So? People lie all the time. Hell, politicians make a career of double dealing and lying. If they are leaving people alone let them be left alone... with their lies.

These people are pretending that they are when they are manifestly liars and hypocrites. Gotta agree with sand here. As long as they're not generally harming anyone with their business, it doesn't bother me how they choose to define 'environmentally low impact/perfect'. It falls in the realm of 'everyone's a hypocrite' to me. They're trying, at least, I guess? “Things are as they are.

SteveThaiBinh Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 An ecologically-sound settlement requires the building of strong links with local communities - it's the strength of these communities that offers an alternative to the wasteful global market. You can't do that if you're lying through your teeth at local residents and generally upsetting everyone. Your neighbours are part of your environment. What these people are doing doesn't tie in with my idea of ecologically-sustainable economics. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Walsingham Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'm more annoyed by someone putting on airs of eco-sainthood and failing, than someone more honest who makes an equal effort. But I'll confess I have a thing right now against hypocritical hippies. In fact I'd suggest that's why they're called hippies. "It wasn't lies.

SteveThaiBinh Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 But it has always been thus. If you remember your episodes of The Good Life, you'll recall that Tom and Barbara were always scrounging something or other off Jerry and Margo, goods and labour. I don't think this lot will be getting many goats from the neighbours, mind you. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."
