In a free world, you would not be required to grow any food.

Why do people grow grass in their front lawn?? Are they paid to do so?? No. do they get a discount at the grocery store for doing so?? No.

People grow lawns and spend money maintaining them for the sole purpose of looking good in front of their neighbors.

In a world where money has no value, things like food will have more value ... having a good fruit tree in your yard will be like having a Lexus parked in the driveway.

People will instinctively want the best garden on the block.

As long as we're keeping this conversation honest, let us admit that not all ideas are scalable.

You might take this opportunity to demonstrate that this one is.

Absolutely not - just because you can't see the truth doesn't mean I have to walk the earth as a blind fool.

When people tell me something is impossible ... I tell them that doesn't mean we can't do it.

I think it is all pretty self-explanatory, if you look for it you can see it.

Example: what was Danny's concern?? How he would get to watch TV ... money breeds lazy people that want to sit around and watch TV. Not Danny's fault mind you, it is what the system does to people; it is to be expected.


The truth is there is no reason Danny can't watch TV in a free world. In fact, he would probably end up getting to watch more of it. There is so much crap we do on this earth solely for money it is disgusting!

Milk - do you know that 40% of the milk in this country doesn't even get drank?? They will take twenty gallons of milk from a single cow every single day ... and half of it "expires' and gets thrown away. They don't even bother to take it out of the plastic jug so it can evaporate back into the clouds and rain back down on the earth again, it is just a total waste.

So here ya go: without money, farmers could take half the day off from milking cows and watch TV instead.

I'm enjoying my free large screen tv from Best Buy.

Danny - I referenced it because it has to do with the history of money, which you seem to don't know.

The TV gets to walmart exactly the same way it does now ... on a truck, duh. The free world charter is not about getting rid of trucks ... it is about getting rid of money.

Why would you need to barter if everything you wanted was free? Just take it!

Yeah, sure Danny. I'd like to see you defend the idea that it's immoral to pay someone for their labor.

Since we are down this idiotic rabbit hole let us attempt some intellectual honesty. YOU mentioned the TV and Walmart.

I do notice that most of those who seem to advocate no money are the ones not so good at getting it.
