Some communitarians go even further back, to our Palaeolithic ancestors with their migration, foraging, replanting of seeds, and brain-tanning hides as their baseline for the Good Life.

Ecosexuals are not trying to recreate some lost Eden, but are instead imagining a whole new one with a new kind of society better suited for survival. They all drive cars and most of them rely on technology — a Surrender Facebook page exists — but most of them, though not living off-grid, are concerned with environmental issues.

Don’t treat their men good. Horses neither.”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWill and Lew stayed on their horses a minute, smoking in silence and circling the herd. The wheels in Hackberry’s head were turning, as if he were focusing every ounce of concentration on the task of sobering up so he could think clearly for a moment. He opened his mouth a few times but nothing came out. Will put him out of his misery.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Something botherin’ you, Lew?”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“You reckon they just wandered all the way out here?”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Sure do look that way.”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNowhere did they see the slightest trace of horse tracks, either fresh or old. No one knew that these cattle were out here with the two men, some twenty miles south of the Lazy GS Ranch and the county line.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Figger you could blot that brand?”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I don’t have my gear on me,” answered Will. “Plus we’d have to wait for it to scar.

Word would get around too fast.”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEly was the biggest livestock hub in this part of Nevada. Ranches from all over the eastern, central, and northern parts of the state sent their cattle through Ely on the way to Denver.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Not sure what to do. The Swallows may be bastards, but we could still bring them their cattle back. They’d pay us handsomely.”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLew sat up tall on his horse.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Really, Bill?

Oasis. Kinda place where they don’t ask questions.”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“You took the words right out of my mouth. Oasis! Now there’s the Will James I thought I knew.”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow it was Hackberry’s turn to think a little. He was positively reinvigorated, and grinning like a kid.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“From Oasis, I’ll catch the train to Denver. I know people there. It’ll be easy and we’ll be rich. I’m sure we can get thirty-five a head, at least, maybe forty, who knows — maybe even fifty! Those sure are some nice fat cattle!”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifty a head was over the top. Will wasn’t about to get carried away, but the prospect of making somewhere in the region of five hundred dollars for a bit more than a week’s work was nothing to sneeze at. It would be enough to set Will up for the winter, maybe even the entire next year, without having to worry too much about what to do next. He’d finally have time to draw, maybe even travel to the West Coast and study at art school. He could visit his idol, the great cowboy painter Charles Russell, in his studio.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Okay then,” said Will. “We should get there in ten days or so. But you’re gonna have to follow my lead. I know the area better than you, and you’re pretty damn drunk. You got many of those jugs left?”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHackberry indicated that he did not, and adopted a malicious look that had been known to get him into trouble. Will steered them back to the matter at hand.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Once we get to Oasis, I know I can trust you. But, until then, it’s me who’s in charge. And for God’s sake, try to sober up a little.”\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLew bared his rickety yellow teeth in all their splendour.\u003c\\\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey decided to wait until sundown to make their move. That way, if other riders showed, they could always say they’d just arrived on the scene and were wondering what to do. Lew had no problem finishing his jug — he still had three left — as Will tried to convince him to get some rest.
