The revolution thing sounds interesting too. We have the old academy standing vacant here now the kids have a brand new school, and some of us would like to keep it for the community rather than have it turned into flats.Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-80376397751301475792011-03-29T14:36:55.371+01:002011-03-29T14:36:55.371+01:00I am not aware of any cooperatives in the States t...I am not aware of any cooperatives in the States that has this broad array of services for their members. Banks, and funerals? This is amazing. Here we have cooperative banks (some in name only), cooperative food stores (which always seem to get taken over by the wealthy and carry items that no normal person could afford), and cooperative food growing programs ( a remarkable success!).<br /><br />Thanks for this inspirational message. I'm going to look into this more.Wild_Billhttp://www.wildramblings.comnoreply@blogger.com
