Your dangerous chisel in the off grid house is made from metal dug from a multi-billion dollar hole full off multi-billion dollar machinery which is built and operated by a lot of bicycle riders, a few AT owners and the odd Bentley driver. Be careful what you wish for.

Then I want your road bike in addition to my MTB!!!! 
It's being said before, there is just one cake to share and we've been just lucky to be born in these countries and have the AT. It doesn't mean that you don't care about the guys not so fortunate that ride bicycles or just walk.
But the guy with the Bentley seems to want to seize over all the ATs and bicycles so that he may have a whole collection of Bentleys and in addition make us all pay a toll on our way walking to his mine... if he could.

Folks, living off the grid is very simple: Take a lesson from the Amish.
However, you can't have a new BMW GS and a Flat-scrreen to watch the game. No designer  . No Sidi boots...yada, yada.
I'm obviously an American, and I love it here. This place has been good to me.

Who blamed "America" (not the USA, nor the whole continent, pls)? Whether I missed that part or misunderstood the suceptibility...  Only saw "West" as a whole package (USA, EU, etc), not as California, Oregon and Washington.
