I think in a few hundred years, money will no longer have any value or meaning, clean water, food & space will be the new currencies.....As for the powers that be, surely those who are better armed & able to hold onto the dwindlig recources will dictate their law. Slavery looks like it going to continue.
To change the future we have to change the present but since that would involve a complete & radical change in our lives & many uncomfortable sacrifices, no one is prepared to even start...We all know where we're headin' but instead of 'slamming on the brakes', we're accelerating.
Sorry, not sure this has any relevance to the thread.
I think it is relavent to the thread.
Changing to simplier life that uses less resources is a survival stratgy, that doesnt envolve the better armed dicating their law. The way we were heading money isn't going to mean much in a few years not centeries. The globe has become better educated to been lied to by their various governments.
Quite a few people here have opted to live simplier lives, it is healthier, and in some ways it provides a more secure future both indivilually and as a society. None of us need flat screen TVs, new cars, new clothes. We know we need basically shelter, food, water and warmeth, everything past that is personal choice of comfort. I fasinated that there are people both here and in the states that have dropped so far out of the system, [living 100% off grid, and no handouts] that they dont exist on paper.
