 ::::::::::There are 8 houses in a suburban residential area and 3 businesses run by the core group.  This, for example, should be in the summary.  Group therapy is a minor part of life for members outside of the core group (to be specific, not all core group members focus on group therapy, and a handful outside of the core group are frequent participators).  Many members choose to participate?  Also many do not.  Why not write about the mechanics and structure of Ganas, before writing about certain people's interests or what they have been accused of?  Ganas is one of the few intentional communities that HAS NO CHARTERED PURPOSE as a whole.  The purpose is made up of the people that are in it, and everyone is different.  The goal of group therapy is to improve communication among members so that issues get worked out in a way that optimizes the happiness of the people involved (at least in theory).  So to a person reading this article wanting to know what the purpose of Ganas is, the simplest thing you could say is ""we try to get along"".  That a crazy person came through and shot someone is a notable event, but I think it belongs in the history section, and not in the summary, as it does not define Ganas."
