But that is just the accepted way of life for the residents of Twin Oaks - a commune in rural Virginia with a population of only 105.  The commune, which was formed 48 years ago, comprises 92 adults and 13 children who live a lifestyle of 'clever poverty' on 450 acres of woodland.   Residents live in harmony below the poverty line, sharing resources with each other.
