Re: Money is the root of evil

Seeing you hate money, I have a solution for you, why don't you give me all your money and possessions purchased with it. Let's see how long you last.
Has it never occurred to you that money is the highest form of bartering? In return for your time, seeing we only have a limited amount of it, and energy, skill you get paid a agreed amount of numbers. These numbers can be bartered to purchase goods to keep you alive and enjoy at a agreed deal (price).

Without money, there would be no consumer goods, maybe a good thing. No fuel, no electricity, no gas no running water, no medicines, no hospitals, no dentistry, no help for the infirm, no supermarkets etc. Now to some this sounds great, well if you want it so bad, I suggest you move to central Africa and join a tribe of people there, because believe me there are people living like that in the world today.

This is why we have international aid programs trying to help them, seeing
they have high mortality rates.

The problem is that you live in a nice cozy world of fuzziness and only post to tell the rest of us that we are wrong. Whether mankind can rise above consumerism and take care of each other toward a common goal, is debatable. It has been tried in the old USSR, China and Cuba, but as George Orwell said, 'all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others'
