Wanna learn what real Enjoyment is? Wanna explore what is "enough" for you? At Max'ed, we're interested in learning and teaching about RESPONSIBLE LIVING. Are you a RISK-TAKER? Because where we want to take you is an unpopular Subculture in any age...
It involves EXPLORATION - of cultural diversity in foods, music, clothing, holiday rituals, prayer (no matter what faith), languages, literature. Here, we believe in Slow Food (as opposed to Fast Food), and we oppose the Mc Donald-ization bulldozing and homogenizing that is going on World-wide.
It involves SACRIFICE, even of things you might think Basic - like the use - or we would say ABUSIVE OVER-USE - of Electricity.
It involves BROADENING FRIENDSHIPS, World-wide, because if we really begin to feel "border-less", then anything that happens "over there" involves us too.
It involves STEWARDSHIP of the Planet - at a very local level - like composting in your kitchen so you can enrich the soil in your yard, or if you are a Renter, in your neighborhood parks.
Mostly it involves a BRAVE UNVEILING OF YOURSELF. The politics will get ugly - this Subculture will buck you right up against the Globalization, New World Order, Military-Industrial Complex that is in Power everywhere. The practical tips are gonna make you look odd to your neighbors. Living a truly considered life, which HAS TO INCLUDE hard work, brute honesty, and a willingness to fail but continue anyway - is a worthy experiment that few try. But in every generation, in every age, there have been those few.
Are you one of them ?
Great! Then let us teach and learn from each other on the topics of:
Non-hybrid Seeds and Protection of Non-hybrid Plant Populations in the Wild.
Native Plants in their Native Lands. Non-importation of Foreign Species.
Slow Food - which is a movement all its own, to save cultural diversity and savor more and varied foods and the recipes that represent each cultural population.
Where Electricity Comes From and What We Use It On.
Alternative Energy Sources.
Cutting down on Polluting Waste, helping the waste we DO create to dissipate faster. Recycling.
Growing our own food and making our own clothes, so that we can "drop off the grid" of poor food choices and sweat-shop labor.
EACH INDIVIDUAL is responsible for what he or she did in this lifetime. It doesn't matter if no one else follows us - each of us can make the World one-person's worth BETTER if we EDUCATE OURSELVES and help each other.
Let's "Live and HELP Live"...
What do you say?

Life is too short, so let us indeed live it and help others live!
