> > You're in a kitchen. You're standing in a long line. One of the
kitchen says, "We need volunteers to take these five-gallon buckets down
to the (distant) river, bring them back up, to be put on the fire for
the kitchen. When the kitchen focalizer has finished working you, then
my point is, that focalizer should be able to put you RIGHT IN FRONT OF
THE LINE, instead of you, exhausted perhaps, getting back at the new end
of the line.

situation more than once in Oregon, with my gimpy sweaty ass propped up
by my cane besides, and was not given either courtesy. Sometimes folks
are just folks I guess, (and goodness knows- folks are nutz!). That's
why I always bring food to feed me when I can't wait for good sense, let
alone good manners to prevail.
To CW and starwatcher I say:
HO, I heard that, right on, you ain't said shit, you'd better believe
it, ain't that the truth, and hell yeah. (I also agree.)
This is a basic way of encouraging people to work by rewarding it. This
is why the Capitalists won the Cold War against the Communists. To each
according to his needs often does not bring from each according to his
ability. The Rainbow Family lets in everybody with a bellybutton the
first time, but if you ever REALLY want to get into the Family by your
third or fourth Gathering, you're gonna have to find something you have
that others want and give it to them with enthusiasm. They're real
hardasses about letting you into the in crowd.
To bb I say:
You've got to find kitchens with good (I'm whispering 'cuz I'm not
suppos'to say) leaders, whom you form a personal relationship with, and
who tell the others who you are when it's time for your reward. I don't
waste my time doing stuff for anarchic kitchens with high turnover where
nobody really knows what's going on. (Did you catch my second Magic Hat
post last week? - I talked more about this.)
