Hi Thomas, While it would be nice I don't know how realistic the prediction of working part-time will turn out to be, particularly within my lifetime. Here's a related topic you might enjoy reading: Google: "cohousing" The modern day village concept is alive and well. From what I have read living in a cohousing environment makes a lot of practical sense. One of the best aspects of living within a cohousing environment is that the community, on a regularly chosen schedule, eats together within a large community building. Chores are shared among the community. Not everyone HAS to own their own lawn mower! Every family continues to maintain their own separate homes either in clustered apartment buildings or clustered free-standing independent homes. Privacy is maintained. However, the entire "village" is deliberately designed so that community members have easy access to a centralized communal building where everyone regularly gets together to eat and socialize. I believe Dennmark was one of the pioneering countries to begin constructing entire communities around this concept. Cohousing has caught on in a few places in the U.S. as well. I believe there is an African saying: "It take a village to raise a child." Thanks for the above information. I am glad that others are allowed to get those communities started.  The US government will not allow me to get such shared communities started in the US, since I am not part of their third world ape clan, and they target me to prevent me from getting them started.   People from Denmark are related to the Lion/Angelic(Bird) clans from the planet Venus according to the royal crest of Denmark being a Cat/Angel crest as Mel Gibson's movie Hamlet depicts, who are not Black African Ape Clans, though some would have us think otherwise.  Just like Shakespeare's Hamlet, many of us are being quietly genocided and replaced by communist ape clan impostors from the third world pretending to be Hamlet's father.    Most of the Angelic clans and cultures in the United Kingdom that B.F. Skinner belonged to, have been quietly genocided since World War II, since those that won World War II were not Angelic clans but the non-Angelic communist Ape and other Tolkien like Mordor Orcish third world clans.  This may be why B.F. Skinner could not get such communities started for his people, though Communist China and African Ape clans could.   Best Regards,   Baron Volsung, www.rhfweb.com/baron President Thomas D.
