So yesterday I was watching one of my favorite new show, Sons of Anarchy and there was a quote in it from a woman named Emma Goldman. It really touched me and made me think of the situation the American Economy is in as well as the decline of other economies.

"Anarchism stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of government. Anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth, an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life, according to individual desires, tastes, and inclinations."

I take from this that maybe if we lived in a world that did not require money it would be an easier place. I mean this all stems from people not being able to pay for homes and banks losing money. A simple solution would be to give everyone homes. But then you will tell me who will build these homes? Well I would say robots, but a more practical approach is incentives for those who build them, No idea is perfect of course. It is just that quote really made me think.

This would have been longer, but the light fixture in my living just started leaking and it takes priority.
