ESCAPE
Information
No 'Garden Of Eden,' Utopias are not to be found, but you could choose to ESCAPE the 'rat race' in favor of an alternative lifestyle. Whether this is an attractive day-dream or a contemplated possibility, this topic is too alluring not to consider.

Happiness Runs - Official US Trailer
April 26, 2010 — Opens 5/7 at Quad Cinema in NYC and 5/14 at Sunset 5 & University Town Center in Los Angeles
One part Woodstock and one part Lord of the Flies, this semi-autobiographical film tells the story of Victor, a neglected child of parents living on a commune. Helpless to resist the atmosphere of sex and drugs that permeates their world, Victor and his promiscuous girlfriend are also smart enough to know that if they are ever going to survive in the real world, they will have to get out. As smart and sexy as it is unnerving, Happiness Runs is a cautionary tale about freeing yourself of social constrictions.

Hi Elaine, thanks for joining.
What I'd like to see is for us all to explore different alternative living choices. Each to his/her own. This is your group too, and I hope you will share your particular interests in this topic. If for some reason you find it's not for you, deleting it easy. Certainly hope you stick around though.
