You might've read on the index page about the intentional community I live in. During a recent flare-up between some the residents and predominately with one of the owners, I wrote this scathing email. I'm just posting it here for fun.

Hi yall,
This is Olympia. Birthday suit. Maybe that's all that really needs to be said; but, throwing caution to the wind, I just can't help but add some to the roast...

"I will not support or consent to any changes to the house manual that exclude Will, either by name or role, from the decision making process at Bradford." -- Aaron

Overlord Aaron has spoken!!! Overlord Will will not step down from his place of supreme power and dominion over us all!

As well, it sounds quite clear that Overlord Aaron feels and has now decreed that all house meetings should be open not just to owners and residents, but anyone outside the kingdom who may have an inkling of interest in the boarding houses. That means NOBODY should be turned away from ANY house meeting -- no matter what anybody else thinks.

Hey yall, I washed the GEM today and it looks fantastic, I pay rent every month to help pay the house payment ("time, energy and yes, money" -- as Aaron said 'bout Will), but I'm not an "owner", cause I'm not on the deed!!!, that must mean my voice is not equal. Woooooow, I really do live in a Kingdom! Serf Olympia reporting for duty.

So, TIME/ENERGY/INTEREST + MONEY = UNBRIDLED DOMINION
  ...enter the Overlords!
  ...house manual good, when inclined -- dominion better.
  ...wait a minute... do I live in a coop?

If collective decision making can be trumped by an owner on a whim, in such tyranny, there is then no more cooperative. All Hail -- to the communal boarding house kings.
