In these difficult times, I think we need to put in place a Bartering System or time bank.

For all those that are unemployed, hungry, no place to 
live.  We are all useful in some way or another.  It is time to take back the old ways of being able to live without corporate greed. We need to open our hearts and our lives to those who are really in need.

I would love any thoughts and feedback.

Looking for any feedback.  Webpage knowledge, ideas. Anything that will help all of our brothers and sisters in need.   This is a great way to help everyone.

If we all were to help each other in this it could be amazing.

This is a honest idea and comes from the heart.

God Bless and much love.

I totally agree with a barter system.  The thing is, though, that a barter system requires an [u]exchange[/u] and if you open your arms to those in need, you'll get the same result that OWS did.  Moochers will flock to your doorstep and devour everything while offering NOTHING in return.  It happens every single time.

Those that WANT help have to OFFER help in return or be turned out.  AND, gasp, that sounds an awful lot like capitalism.
