Living off the grid and being kind of an outlaw brings a dangerous reality.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always wanted to be the outlaw. And that's to a certain extent how I've lived.
Most anyplace one lives is essentially dangerous. There are floods in the Midwest, and tornadoes. There are hurricanes along the Gulf. In New York, you get mugged.
I'd like to live off-grid.
The idea that you can live off the grid and just do your own thing is a very American idea - that you should be able to do your own thing, if you want to, if you're willing to pay the price for it. I think the price has gotten higher and higher.
If you had a national grid with one operator, you had twenty or even a hundred operators, if you don't have the ability to compel people to observe high standards of conduct, then you run a greater risk.
Living is risking.
The deeper changes wrought by the end of a particular outlaw culture: something will come of that ... and it won't be what we expect.
The danger chiefly lies in acting well; no crime's so great as daring to excel.
Living is dangerous. The important thing is to know the limits.
I've lived a slower and less expensive life going off the grid, and I'm happier because of it.
