NO, NO and NO. I'm a frugal monkey (notice the group above called
"frugal-living"), not a hungry lion. Monkeys are COOPERATIVE and
perhaps there is the most room for frugality.

Here's some pep talk for the revolution coming soon...

Continuing with the coops, here are some good reasons why many people
would join them if given the choice...

"Most people are living on Kibbutz Arava for two reasons: 1.) to be
able to work for themselves [no politician, no bureaucrat, no boss, in
other words, no lion], and 2.) to be able to raise their children in a
safe and comfortable environment [in other words, no jungle]. In a
world whose cities are increasingly becoming more polarized and
violent, these basic wants/needs are synonymous with life on a
kibbutz.

Internally, Kibbutz Arava functions rather communally and
ecologically. There is a central dining room and commons area. Food
that is eaten in the dining room arrives as bulk, wholesale crates,
thus eliminating retail wastes such as packaging and plastic wrappers.
The kibbutz is a pedestrian community. People are able to walk and
ride their bikes to any kibbutz activity. In fact, there are only five
leisure cars available for the 130 adult members. On kibbutz, people
don't throw much away. When things break, they are fixed either by the
garage, carpentry shop, or laundry. Things are not easily thrown away,
as items are scarce. There are public commodities, such as a coffee
and tea lounge, a pool, an entertainment area, a computer and fax
room, a music studio, and a horse stable. By offering these amenities,
the kibbutz eliminates the need for everyone to have their own TV,
computer, etc [no consumerism, which feeds the lion]."
