It is nice to see that even weird people like that have arguments too. This was the first we got to see one. Apparntly Bill and his wife were arguing about dinner in their kitchen. It was described as a heated argument...but it didn't appear very heated by my standards. I was also glad to see other somewhat normal people emerge. Mr. Miller's son in law, as well as Bill, were at one time living in modern society. I have no idea why they would choose their current status over civilization. I bet civilization could almost be like drugs for the young kids who have never seen it. If they went out in the world and saw modern technology just one time, i bet they would leave their house in two seconds.
I suppose Eric was happy to participate in the Barn raising. I would rather stay home and sleep. But for the purposes of his experiment, he probably wanted to take in the full experience. The diagrams of the barn were somewhat interesting. But the pictures themselves were limited to a small structure. It is impressive that they can build that. But you will never see them build a high rise building. It is obvious that they have talent. And i'm sure they could do so much more with their skills if they lived in a modern society.
And what is the deal with the Kool Aid. It seems like every chapter their is at least one thing that those people do that deviates from their expected lifestyle. Where did they get the kool aid? Did they go to the local WalMart and buy it along with everything else in their kitchen? I can't wait until the next chapter, maybe they will go install a fax machine in the barn!

i think the young kids are almost brain washed!
I also thought that the fact that they could add an extension to a building in 1 day was amazing. What I really don't understand is why they would all help each other this way - I'm wondering when this tradition started and whether they don't really want to help, but feel a social obligation to do so.
