Emancipation from $$$
(I'm feeling amused)


Deception  is a Loss of  Freedom


Money & Scarcity are illusions. Scrap the illussions  

A brief History of Commerce:

People had wants, needs and desires.
Some people had things....and some people did not have certain things.
People who had an abundance of something,  beyond what was necessary for their own needs, began to  "exchange" goods and services with people who were seeking those commodities.
Various methods of payment were used.  Some "bartered" Spices,  Tapestries, or Food  in exchange for Gems or Gold.  Some "labored" in exchange for something considered to be  compensatory..
There was Acquistion ( buyers )...Products  (  goods & services )...and Producers ( sellers ).
Gold ,  Silver,  and  Gems were means of common Currency.  All u needed was a scale.
The "local" needs and common places of exchange began to move towards a more centralized "trade route" location.
Gold, Silver, & Gems were a sought after, non-perishable,  convenient, concise,  and universal  means of exchange.
I/o to deal with "uniform values & measurements" differences; and,  long and difficult transportation problems;  Centralized locations (such as the Switzerland) became storehouses for the Huge amounts of Gold that were being transported from one Country to another Country's market.  These warehouse attested to the value and veracity that these Metals were under their "protection" and safe guardianship.  The Traveler was given a "receipt" -- a warehouse receipt.  Traders and Nations accepted and exchanged these receipts.
In essence> the "warehouse receipt" for gold became money.
Under Nixon & the Central Banks, the "Hardbacked Dollar" ( Gold & Silver backed Federal Reserve Note) was replaced with "Fiat" currency.  OOps: the warehouse receipt: has become more real than the original gold that it was supposed to represent.    Now... the warehouse receipt has nothing behind it to back it up..  Nothing backs up that piece of paper....its worthless.


A brief Reality:


Things were in place before one's existance.
And ALL the trappings of Existance will still be there long after you depart.

It would be irrational to charge people to breathe Air...or be Taxed for Their Thoughts.

The very fact that one should be made to pay for anything that "Rightfully" belongs to them is ludicrous. That is the Grand Theft.

Receiving an Education...and then, Contributing the culmination of those "efforts" by way of Participating interactively with the Community IS Payment., in and of itself.  STOP buying into the deceptions.

Being trapped in a deception...that alone...is a loss of Freedom.
