Let's get rid of all money and go back to the barter system. Way back
when in the good ole days (sorry ahd to say it lol) we did not have
money. We bartered. If the blacksmith had no meat, he went to a farmer
and traded his services for meat. This is how things were done. also
the communities got together wen someone had a terrible misfortune (like
a tree going through their roof in a thunderstorm) and wroked as a
community to help get the family back on their feet and working, cause
you never knew when you would need the favor returned.

Have you ever heard of the rock group "Supertramp?" They had a great
tune called "Dreamer."

The money is just printed up fake money.

The Federal Reserve is not owned by this country, it is owned by
European Banks.


Have you ever heard of From Freedom to Fascism?

google it.


and I love the barder system.

My point is we still use the barter system. It is a theory of economics
that has propelled this nation forward from birth. The Federal reserve
has never had any connection with the Federal Government or any
institution sanctioned by the constitution.
If you guys are looking for Mayberry-go live in a third world country.

I've heard 'Dreamer' and I agree.

What if you ain't got a pot to piss
in? Or have nothing anyone wants?

What are you going to barter then?

Nusalor....
Why should I have to give up the benefits and pleasures of living in the
united states just to have the use of a barter system again? It is just
htat with the barter system it is hard for someone ot hoard everything
for themself as they can not do everything they need by themself.

Listen to 'Ballad of Hollis Brown'
by Bob Dylan, and you'll know
what I mean.

thats just it mn, everyone is capable of doing something that someone
else needs...

And before you mention the physically challanged, there is a lot that
they can do as well, and the ones that absolutely can not do anything is
taken care of by everybody. BUT if you are not wiling to do SOMETHING
to help the community, then you need to pack it up and leave. Just my
opinion.

Nusalor is right..we use the barder system everyday...you work at your
job...and in return you can purchase services of someone else in another
field...works the same way...just that we all share in providing
"barder" to people who don't want to work and Illegal aliens...LOL

Then the ideal state you are describing Daniel, is known as socialism.
Barter is a means of free exchhange. You exchange labor for a paycheck.
Sure, it used to be more of a you scratch my back and I'll scratch
yours, but those days went ballistically out of view with the industrial
revolution. You'd do well in any country that ends in "stan."

adn I agree so far as that we get apaycheck for barter now, but we need
to do something to where the paycheck (or money howeveryou want to look
at it) doesnt mean as much as honesty and value.
I guess what I am trying to say, is we need to go back to where a
community looked out for its own and its neighbors. Everyone helped
everyone out. Ya know hwat Imean?

And I would barter to give you a heros welcome when you returned!
Unfortunately, one man can't stamp out the hatred that ignorance
nurtures against this great country of ours.

Then please refer to my Mayberry comment above. However, there is
nothing stopping you from creating such a community. You have the heart
for it.

And thanks Searchin-for the backup!
