Humanity has been living this way for too long, grabbing whatever they can to ‘make themselves happy’. It doesn’t work like that — it never has, never will. All of our happiness and sadness is created internally. [link to www.off-grid.net] ...one can pro or contra this couple...but one thing is for sure....more and more people beginning to realize....

They would all simply work for the good of the community. Creative output, also, such as music and art, would be freely shared and enjoyed. There would be no such thing as 'copyright' because there would be no such thing as personal financial gain. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1492246 Russia12/16/2012 12:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Today’s prices and costs provide a very bad basis for making investment decisions because they reflect temporary relative market scarcities rather than long-run underlying physical ones. The world needs to abandon money as its measure for determining energy and economic policy if it is to invest its scarcest, most limiting resources in the best possible way.

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1492246 Russia12/16/2012 01:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do we need money at all...? Can a moneyless society work? When people in general are not motivated by money and profits. Why, then is our world still running on it? The answer is that we have been doing this for so long, so people have gotten so used to thinking that money, profit, margins, loans, banks and credit is a 'natural' part of our lives. But, it is not. All of this is artificial. The natural is our true motivations, like Dan Pink shows in his talk. I know there are several millionaires that would also like to see a different world. Maybe we can make it work? [link to www.ted.com] |

Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies..... Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. ~H. L. Mencken~ We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. ~Plato~ When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic. ~Dresden James~ |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1492246 Russia12/17/2012 12:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to nz.answers.yahoo.com] Do you think we need to abandon money? Do you think its true that in order for technology to work properly and for things to last longer without breaking down we need to get rid of money ? I mean they can build cars that hardly ever break down but they choose not to so they can sell you parts and another car also computer programs suffer from money hogging corporations that only give you half the programs so they can sell you the rest so they don't work as well as they could. Additional Details: Yeah if we did it today but if we prepare the way it would work. |
