Of course. But I was referring to others who may be angered by my ideas and call me names like "communist", "Stalinist" or "moron". People don't generally like ideas which question their whole way of life.

I'm a philosophical anarchist for the record. I don't believe people should exercise power over other people and all power should be the least necessary to achieve it's purpose. Money is one of the primary vectors of the virus called "power".

People, in all our evoluted glory, are vectors of greed, lust. The problem does not lie with money, but our use of it to achieve questionable things. Getting rid of money might put a damper on some things, but I don't think so. Humans are capable of overcoming obstacles.
Getting rid of guns doesn't get rid of violence, it just motivates certain people to become more creative, and robs certain people of part of their freedom.

It sure is something to think about tho... :scratch:
