    This is in response to a post that Neodude made. If anybody else gets anything from it, or has any comments, or completely disagrees, I'd be interested to hear input :)

    Kapeesh?

    I could argue every point there, but it would take too long.

    I don't agree at all, though.

    It's the same with a government, it could work great unless people start fucking it up.

    You know people, money is a fine thing. Furthermore, no one fucks anything up

    recessions, inflation, all these economic factors have as much to do with the fat cats upstairs as it does everyone of you.

    I see two paradigms.

    You get what you pay for.

    or

    Giving and receiving are the same truth.

    That's a very good observation. That is the plain and simple answer to everything money related.

    The problem is, this is what any monetary system leads to with enough time. Money is completely unsustainable. Namely because greed enters the picture, and sooner or later, people begin to realize that they can exploit other people.
    Sucks, but it's true.

    So if money is debt, it requires payment.

    The way to be free from debt, is to excuse it.
    Giving and receiving are the same truth.

    However, you cannot do both.

    We either pay to play, or we play because we are inherently capable.

    With a good money system this world could be paradise...with our FIAT money system it will be destroyed, inevitabely and worse than with atomic bombs.
