Hoedads, Inc. General meetings of the forestry coop took place quarterly. Roberts Rules of Order, hands raised to speak in chronological order, stick to the agenda, make a motion, speak to the motion, call the motion, show of hands, count, pass/fail. Everyone to abide by the vote. Crit/self crit end of day. It worked, for 10 years at least.

   After that, I joined a Quaker commune for awhile, then headed across the country to take part in a Syndicalist forestry cooperative, then, about 1986, reluctantly re-assimilated into society.

   The cooperative had the same policy fights, internally, as Mayday. How we were able to muddle through them, with 300+ people, was one person one vote, Roberts Rules of Order. If our enterprise was valued above purity, some of us had to stand aside sometimes.
