A person after my own heart!

 

I don't know who you are or what you do. I have been lurking on a few of your

posts and I have to say your words go right to my heart and soul.

 

You speak what I instinctively know or feel I knew somewhere with in me but

never knew consienciously. I don't know if that makes sense but it makes sense

to me. lol

 

I am new on this raw journey (9 days so far) and enjoying every minute.

 

Just wanted to say I so appreciate what you are doing.

 

Regards,

your time is the most cherished gift of all, tomorrow is promised to no one.

[Raw Food] What's it really worth? Paying our own way; Quality; LIberty

(WAS: 80/10/10)

 

 

Hi Dobby and Shebassong,

 

Dobby, I so appreciate your comment here. We have all been taught to " look

for bargains " . From where I sit, if I could find a few resources that would

really support me in my own journey toward health, I'd consider them a

bargain without looking at the price tag.

 

At the same time, I do realize that some presently live on limited funds,

that this may change, but probably not by tomorrow morning. I do not wish to

make light if this.

 

Doug has chosen to offer his book directly to the public. He paid for all

the writing and research that went into the book; no one else paid for these

things. He paid for the cover design, for the editing, for the physical

publication of the books themselves. All from his own pocket. I say all this

from first-hand, personal knowledge. And he simply wishes to receive back

from the world in some reasonable proportion to what he has put in.

 

As I wrote a few days ago, if we wish NOT to have government intervention,

if we wish to retain the fullness of our own liberty, then we MUST learn AND

CHOOSE to pay our own way, without any subsidies. Every time we choose to

buy something from a vendor whose only value added is convenience with a

discount, we shift our support away from whoever actually wrote the book in

question. If we genuinely desire " old-world craftsmanship " , if we genuinely

desire " quality " , then we must notice, and appreciate, and pay for it.

Otherwise, everything will look ... and break ... like it came from

Wal-Mart.

 

Our own quality of life really is at stake here.

 

Best to all,

Elchanan

Im not saying you cant find a good deal on it.

 

But I searched the internet for the greater part of 3 hours looking

around...I tried amazon, ebay, book clubs etc...

 

I finally just realized that $30 is not that much. Its the same as most of

pay for a co-pay at a drs office.

 

So I just quit looking and decided to give credit where credit is due an

bought it from the site.

 

Good Luck!

Does anybody know of a place I can get this book for less than $30?
