The other day I watched the movie Chappie. There was one
scene that really caught my attention.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The city (and the premise of the movie) was based on the fact that the crime rate in this South African city was outrageous… 300 murders were
happening everyday, people were being robbed, many civilians and policemen were being harmed, and the police force in place was
not sufficient to handle the situation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So then robots are created as part of the law enforcement
department. Less causalities on the police side, as well as crime rates were
dramatically going down.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*Spoiler Alert*</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then, mid-way through the movie- the robot police force gets hacked and a firewall gets put in, which basically stops them from working. The
city is left without the robotic defense and all of a sudden, in one moment of
this becoming common knowledge in the city – there is an uproar and the people
take to the streets; riots ensue, there is burning of buildings, and stores, and homes. There is
one scene shot from the sky as if in a helicopter, showing the drama happening
in the downtown area, and it’s just like mad men finally set loose that have
been caged for years. The destruction is over the top.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And this is what caught my attention. The consequence of
suppression. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The crime in the city was suppressed through a robotic
police force. There was no understanding of WHY people were acting the way they
were or what causes it was stemming from. It was just simply accepted that as
‘human nature’ and attempted to force control and suppression onto the city and
the people as a way of dealing with the situation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And what happens when that control and suppression is
removed? That which was attempted to be put down, smothered, in fact was slowing
building, and getting bigger, and accumulating to the point where there is this
so over the top acting out of dysfunctional behavior. The crime becomes much
worse after the robot police fail to work, than before they were ever implemented. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And what does this reveal? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suppression or attempting to
force control onto a situation such as high crime in a city does not work, as it
does not sort/root out the REAL PROBLEM. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Which is also embedded throughout the whole move. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Money. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The lack of Money causes crime.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
People commit crimes for money.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The desire for Money cause one to rob each other, to murder
each other, to steal and abuse each other. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All for the money.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, after seeing this, that this is what happens when one
suppresses a problem, the solution seemed clear.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How about instead of creating a robotic police force, such as the scenario in the movie to be a solution to more and more crime, or a more military-like police force that
enforces it’s mechanical hand onto the people - creating fear to control... one
give the people the proper financial support to take care of their basic needs. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Have a look - what would you be willing to do to ensure your own survival? Can you really condemn those that are stealing, lying, and cheating for more money so they can have a place to stay for the night, or to provide themselves something to eat? Have you put yourself in their shoes? What options are available?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Living Income.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A dignified living income, where if one finds themselves in
a financial hard time, or in between jobs, or in a place where robbery or even
murder come up as a potential option to make it through another day, they instead have the safety net of a living income.
That is preventing crime as being an option for survival, as well as dealing with the REAL problem that cause crime and abuse in
this world in the first place.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lack of Money and Desire for Money leads to greed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
In greed, there is no compassion, empathy, or standing in
the shoes of another. There is only self-interest and the drive for survival.<o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="http://www.documentary.org/images/programs/docuday/2013/redemption_still01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.documentary.org/images/programs/docuday/2013/redemption_still01.jpg" height="160" width="320" /></a></div>
For anyone who thinks and believes that those that are unemployed, receiving assistance from the state or federal government, or living on the streets are lazy and no good, feeding off the system, I suggest you watch the HBO documentary, Redemption.<br />
<br />
Here we watch people all over the streets of New York collecting bottles and cans as a way to survive. To them this is their full time job, walking block after block, day after day, going through trash that sits on the corner to collect all and any bottles or cans that can be recycled. Why do they do this? Because for each bottle or can, they can receive five cents. This seems hardly anything to be working so dam hard for, yet they are doing it. They are doing it with their children because they cannot afford childcare, and because they are extra hands to help out, they are doing it without sleeping, they are doing it to afford to live in a one bedroom apartment with seven other people. They are doing it because money matters in the fight for survival and is the only option available to them.<br />
<a href="http://dokufest.com/2014/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Redemption-documentary-shor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://dokufest.com/2014/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Redemption-documentary-shor.jpg" height="225" width="320" /></a><br />
Before you assume to think these are people who put themselves in this situation, as if they deserved it, <br />
think again and watch the documentary. These are people with degrees, who have worked for such companies as Microsoft, who worked at the World Trade Center, who fought in wars for 'our freedom', who cannot survive on the social security they receive alone.<br />
<br />
These are people who are doing what they can to survive, because the harsh reality is that if you make one wrong move, you too can be put out on the street without a helping hand. And you will then see what it's really like to live for your survival. Money gives us a buffer, we do not see the extent to the consequence our system of life on Earth creates - because we did not pull the shorter stick.<br />
<br />
Anyone who suggest that someone does not deserve a living income, a dignified life with the resource required to survive, simply because they are not working the job we define as 'acceptable' - put yourself in the shoes of another. What would you do to survive. Is your right to food, shelter, hot water, clean clothing more valid then someone who isn't working, or not doing a job we classify as normal? Would you be willing to walk the streets of New York, digging through trash bags in front of fine dining establishment, simply to ensure you can buy yourself a sandwich for the day? What does shame have to do with anything when it comes to survival?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3b2541a6d3f7c702a815a1dc85d36181/tumblr_mxmp56h5Tr1sqyewbo3_1280.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3b2541a6d3f7c702a815a1dc85d36181/tumblr_mxmp56h5Tr1sqyewbo3_1280.png" height="177" width="320" /></a></div>
I suggest anyone that has such a judgment on those that are down and out and willing to do ANYTHING to make a few bucks, to watch this documentary, to put yourself in their shoes, and to then ask the question, why are Human Rights not a RIGHT given to all, unquestionably?<br />
<br />
Investigate the <a href="http://livingincome.me/wiki/The_Living_Income_Guaranteed_Proposal">Living Income Guaranteed</a> proposed by the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EqualLifeFoundation">Equal Life Foundation.</a> The core principle is that all humans have unalienable rights to life - that means food, water, shelter, clothing, education. These cannot and should not be denied to anyone, whether you are not able to find a job, in between jobs, victim of layoffs, whatever - that no matter your situation, YOU have the right to a dignified life, and that you are not FORCED to sift through the rubbish of other humans to collect your income.<br />

<a href="http://www.trbimg.com/img-5327744f/turbine/la-et-st-qa-katrina-gilbert-paycheck-to-payche-001/2048/2048x1367" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.trbimg.com/img-5327744f/turbine/la-et-st-qa-katrina-gilbert-paycheck-to-payche-001/2048/2048x1367" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
Today I watched the documentary called '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg6pC_gZevc">Paycheck to Paycheck</a>,' about a single mother, my age, with three children. She lives in the South, works as a Certified Nursing Assistant, separated from her husband of almost 10 years, and gets a working wage of $9.49 an hour.<br />
<br />
I was shocked to see the hourly wage of this woman, because from my perspective, her work is something that takes more education than I currently have, and yet I still make more an hour than her. And from my perspective, her work is much more valuable. She is caring for the elderly in a nursing home; feeding them, changing their bed sheets, changing their catheters, and most importantly, spending time with them when no one else does. She provides care in an environment that is the last place these elderly will end up, while when she is not working, she is caring for children and their environment; the first place these children are exposed to.<br />
<br />
So she is directly dealing with the next generation, while simultaneously giving as much comfort she can while the previous generation slowly leaves.<br />
<br />
And she is giving not even $10.00 an hour of compensation to support herself, and her three children.<br />
<br />
This documentary exemplifies the major problem we have, not only in this country, but around the world. The people that have first hand control of forming and shaping our future, our children, are not being properly supported or valued in any way whatsoever. No one could possibly expect to live comfortably on $10 an hour, let alone raising three other humans on that wage.<br />
<br />
This is a prime example of why a living income is an absolute necessity in our world, and a basic human right. The women who carry, birth and raise the children, the future of humanity, are not giving the proper support necessary that is required. She should have any and all resources available to ensure she is in a prime position - mentally and physically - to do the job she has in front of her, which is to create a space and environment that supports the potential of all children. Instead, with her working wage, she must live as an example that tells her children that life is hard, life is a struggle, you are not valued for the work you do, and ultimately you are alone to suffer the consequence of a system created and sustained by All of society.<br />
<br />
No mother should be expected to work if children are brought into the picture, all mothers should have the CHOICE to not work, and still be giving a LIVING wage - don't you think it would be of more value for the children, and so society as a whole, to have a full-time caretaker there who is not stretched so thin to the point where panic attacks keep them from working, where stress of making it to the next pay day is not distracting them from being able to provide the best care for the children; where a mother is not put into a position where she must tell her children to wait just a minute when they say they are hungry, simply because she needs a moment to sit down and breathe. Where she does not have to sacrifice her health and well being just because there is only enough to give more to her children.<br />
<br />
Women, mothers specifically, is one group of people that would benefit form a Living Income, and from my perspective, should be an absolute basic right. The fact that this mother of three must work for $9.49 an hour to support herself and her family, without any support or assistance from the system in which she is working for, goes to show the lack of care we actually have for what we are bringing into this life, let alone the life that is already here.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://livingincome.me/wiki/The_Living_Income_Guaranteed_Proposal">A Living Income</a>, proposed by the<a href="https://www.facebook.com/EqualLifeFoundation"> Equal Life Foundation</a>, is a simple step we can take in rectifying this situation - where in giving a living wage to our Mothers we are living the statement of gratitude, and giving to THEM what they have given to US, which is Life. I would think this would be the first priority for anyone wanting to change our social and economic systems - to ensure that our Mothers and so our Children are being given the financial support required to flourish in this World - able to stand on a foundation that allows the true potential of all beings to be harnessed and to expand, after all - the children today are the people tomorrow that will be the ones assisting us when it's our time to leave this world.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://clikhear.palmbeachpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/99328_005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://clikhear.palmbeachpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/99328_005.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
Today I read <a href="http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/9/18/king-fire-california.html">an article</a> about a small town in Northern California that was devastated by the continuous wild fires raging in the West. So many houses were burned to the ground. In the video, a woman says many are left with nothing but the clothes on their backs.<br />
<br />
I thought of the various weather conditions throughout the world that leave so many in a position of helplessness, where every belonging is destroyed. I thought of this small town that does not have a booming economy to stabilize such a scenario, where many people's livelihoods rest on the employment that perhaps is no longer standing.<br />
<br />
Another person is the video said the town was already an "economically depressed area" and now so many more would be out of work.<br />
<br />
Imagine if that was you, and the very means in which you depended on for your survival was put to a halt and you no longer had that choice - you cannot work. When employment becomes the dependent for one to survive, what happens when one lose their job? Or when they are forced into unemployment due to unexpected weather conditions? Here is where a safety net is required - a foundation anyone in such a position can fall back on.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://livingincome.me/wiki/The_Living_Income_Guaranteed_Proposal">The Living Income Guaranteed</a>, proposed by the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EqualLifeFoundation">Equal Life Foundation</a>, is such a system that would ensure any victims to have to face such harsh conditions of extreme weather, that leave their area devastated and struggling to re-build their economy, the ability to move forward with the least likely burden. Imagine you are okay to do what is necessary to be done to ensure you re-build not only your life and the life of your family and friends, but also your community without having the added pressure and stress of not working, and the current consequence of such a position, to add to the list of things to be done.<br />
<br />
No one should have to fear not working, especially when it is something out of one's own hands, as the consequence of not working is not making money. And we know what happens when one does not make money. And so since yours, mine, and everyone's survival is dependent on the money we have, all have the right to have access to this resource. Whether you are in between jobs, in an area hit by extreme weather, or simply unable to find work at the moment, all are entitled to the condition that provides a basic living ability; a right to have access to your basic HUMAN RIGHTS. No one should have to be without, and no one should have to fear going without. It is our duty as a society, as humanity, to ensure all are cared for in the times when it's needed most - because within that is the principle of 'do unto another as you would have done unto yourself'. That is a principle in which the Living Income in built upon and with it's assistance and support, we would see a drastic change in our views of such calamities. Extreme weather would no longer be seen as something that is too difficult to come back from - as the political, social and economic structure would be in place for anyone to be able to stand from. It is the foundation which is required, and is absolutely viable to create, to ensure that together we can face whatever situations may come upon us, whether that is the weather or not - we have the resources and means to ensure no one is left alone or without the support to re-build and re-create in a way that is dignified.<br />
<br />
Investigate Equal Life Foundation and the Proposal of a Living Income as the safety net necessary for when unexpected weather or conditions exist. We are more than capable of ensuring no one is felt fearful of the future and 'what to do next' - because we have the means and the finances to ensure everyone the opportunity to stand up on their own to feet and start moving forward, creating and building again.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I just watched part one of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hcAjyOFX1M&feature=share">"Big Sugar,"</a> a documentary by Brian McKenna. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The modern day slave story of the sugar plantation workers of the
biggest sugar-producing companies in the world, which is an American company. The extreme difference of realities
for the sugar plantation workers and the owner of the company is astounding. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On one hand you have the owner living in Florida, being
driven around in a luxury automobile, living in one of the most expensive
places in the state, eating at fine dining restaurants, throwing extravagant
charity events for the rich and famous and when asked about the workers of his company, denying the conditions for life of the workers on the plantation that are sustaining his company, his profits and thus his lifestyle. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

On the other hand you have the labor of the men forced to
take work on one side of an island that, once promised a better life through the opportunity of employment, their passports are taken away and thus are stuck, working for the plantation and stateless. They are monitored by 'sheriffs' and tear up any gardens in the area and so cannot grow their own vegetables, they are charged by the
owners of the company they work for, for their source of groceries from a small shop in the village, which is
twice as much as it is in the city. They go into the fields every morning
without food and at the end of the day, up to 16 people must eat from the same

For every ounce of sugar in your cookies, brownies, birthday
cakes, dairy, meat and anything else we throw sugar into – the existence of
slavery continues. In a land that thought it abolished slavery over 150 years ago –
still an American company serves up its product by virtue of the slaves it
employs, while the consumer is none the wiser. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is the reality in which we live – where what we buy and
consume exists on a shelf in the super market that we do not consider comes
from a long process that once began by a human being forgoing their basic human
rights to simply make it through another day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Have we ever considered following the trail to see what
gives us our sugar high? Does the history in which the sugar industry has
developed interest us whatsoever? Or have we so sufficiently been sedated by
our buzz from sucrose, that we do not care to question, investigate, rip
open even the reality of how our world exists - where our products come from and who
currently must suffer to sustain the lifestyles of the rich and the few. <o:p></o:p></div>

In this documentary – the owner of the American company
suggest that one cannot compare the living standards of those on the island of Hispaniola (Dominic Republic and Haiti) to that of American standards – that they have done
enough simply by providing jobs for the workers that would otherwise be
unemployed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here we must realize that to simply work is not a solution
or even a privilege in which the company owner is providing – it is a human
right for all to be able to work as that is currently the means in which one
makes the money to survive and the ability to survive is a basic human right - access to sufficient food, water and shelter. And then of course – for one to have a job that is
not in alignment with standards that ALL persons would be willing to accept and
allow themselves to work in, then it is not sufficient in supporting the dignity
all people have a right to in their working conditions. <o:p></o:p></div>

It is not enough for us to give a person a job. It is our
responsibility and duty to ensure that job does not cause unnecessary harm or
prevention of one being able to practically sustain their life and the life of
their family. For every one ton of sugar cane that ONE MAN cuts a day they
receive the equivalent of $2 US dollars a day. Does this seem like a fair wage for
you? Is this a living wage? Is this a practical wage that honors the real work of the physical
labor of the human being in which ALL products and service move in our reality?
Have we misplaced the value in which we create what we offer to consumers? How
is it the owner of the company reaps the most benefit in terms of quality of life
when the men doing the physical, hard labor day in and day out see the bare
minimum of what they sow? This is in reverse and one of the core problems we
have on earth wherein we are not equally valuing or even placing the actual
value that we measure with money in the hands of those that are doing the
actual work – the actual labor. Human labor is the greatest resource we have
and here, in this documentary, we have a clear example of how it is being
exploited and used to enslave many while enriching a few. <o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR9pttXFTa_spCCcLAESaA2fzXrV458erA0EvlwyPRlo9m2Tb-n" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR9pttXFTa_spCCcLAESaA2fzXrV458erA0EvlwyPRlo9m2Tb-n" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Currently in the United States, the Federal Minimum Wage is set at $7.25 an hour. A state is able to set the wage higher or lower, however, if the state minimum wage is set lower than the federal wage, than automatically the state's minimum wage is the federal wage. If the state decides to raise their minimum wage to be more than that of the federal minimum wage, than the higher of the two rates is applied.<br />
<br />
Now an interesting thing - whatever your hourly rate is, is not actually what you are being paid.<br />
<br />
Let's look at a practical example:<br />
<br />
Say you are working in a position that pays minimum wage, which was <a href="http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2013/ted_20130325.htm">reported to be about 4.7% of the working class in 2012</a>. Doing the basic math, we can see that if you were to work 40 hours in one week, at $7.25 an hour, your gross pay would be $290 (40 x 7.25). Usually pay periods are every two weeks, so calculating the pay check to be expected for one pay period would be - keeping up with the 40 hour work week - you would gross $580 (290 x 2).<br />
<br />
So that is a 'standard' paycheck for working 80 hours in one pay period. Yet here, you are not actually bringing home the 'minimum wage' set by the law as the federal requirement. The reason being, there are taxes that are then taken out for various purposes. Mainly, in the US, we have the OASDI and HI taxes which are the Social Security and Medicare taxes, sitting at 6.2% for OASDI and 1.45% for HI (Medicare).<br />
<br />
So let's now remove these taxes from your taxable wages, which is what we calculated above, the $580.<br />
<br />
The amount taken out for OASDI would be $35.96 (580 x 6.2%), and the amount taken out for Medicare would be $8.41 (580 x 1.45%). So taking into account these taxes that are being removed from your paycheck (35.96 + 8.41= $44.37), you would receive a total of $535.63 (580 - 44.37).<br />
<br />
Once the taxes are removed and you are given your paycheck, the total hourly wage you are ACTUALLY "making", or is for you to support your life, is now at $6.69 an hour (535.63/80 hours). What this means is that after all is said and done, you are making lower than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, which is apparently set as a standard to ensure a minimum wage for all workers in the US. Yet we can clearly see here that we are not actually making that amount - we are making 56 cents less than that amount. One might say that is nothing to gripe about, yet it all adds up.<br />
<br />
Now I'm not saying that we should not have to pay taxes or that 'taxes are the bad guys, and do away with taxes', what is clear here is that the Minimum Wage should be set as a rate that takes into account the taxes that are being paid. The Minimum Wage should be set at a rate in which, once the taxes have been removed, equals that of the Federal Minimum Wage, definitely not lower. I say definitely because it does not make any sense, why set a MINIMUM amount when one is actually making LESS than the MINIMUM amount?<br />
<br />
We already know that the current minimum wage of $7.25 for an individual working full time, does not cut it in terms of actually supporting one financially, and then we see now that we are making even less than that. The point of the Minimum wage would to be to ensure that a minimum amount is guaranteed for ALL workers to ensure their ability to provide themselves the access to ALL Human Rights - food, shelter, water, education, health care, etc. The Minimum Wage is currently providing the most minimal standard of living and cuts people off from accessing a more dignified, comfortable life. No one should have to work more than 40 hours a week to survive, if they choose not to. No one should have to work more than one job to ensure they are making more than the hourly minimum wage rate. No one should have to be forced into positions where they are stuck, doing what they can, just in order to put food on their table and a roof over their head. This should all be guaranteed, because it is a human right.<br />
<br />
No one should have part of their less than effective income be removed to then pay in to support others. It's not "Give and Get Less," it's "Give and you shall Receive." And so as we give, we should receive - a balance economy that is effective in supporting everyone - that is truly an advanced society; one that functions in harmony.<br />
<br />
So the point I wanted to make here is simply that we are fooling ourselves in thinking the current minimum wage is doing it's job effectively, when we can see in the numbers above that the actual minimum wage is not the real minimum wage that goes to those that are working the hours.<br />
<br />
Why not give a wage in which takes into account these other costs and yet still allows one a decent wage to live.<br />
<br />
I will go more into various other perspective in regards to Minimum Wage in blogs to come. In the meantime - investigate the <a href="http://livingincome.me/">Living Income Guaranteed</a> proposed by the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EqualLifeFoundation">Equal Life Foundation</a> that recognizes the fact that we have lost sight of how to ensure a healthy and thriving population, which in turns provides a healthy and thriving economy. It realizes that a Living Income becomes more effective than a Minimum Wage and should be set to ensure a standard of Living that is Best for Everyone, because in the end, that is our Basic Human Rights.<br />
<br />
Investigate, Question, Find Solutions... Till next time.<br />

<br /></div>
Imagine yourself a young parent, with a child less than a year old. Your partner faces inner demons that drive them to abuse substances that create them to no longer be a supportive role in this child's life. They lie, cheat and steal for their addiction and you are put into a situation to make a choice. Stay or leave - what is best for the child?<br />
<br />
You decide to leave and seek refuge with your family. They offer you a temporary place to stay while you fight for rights to your child to ensure you are the one responsible for the child's well being and that until the other parent has proven to support themselves through the addiction and stable enough to support the child, you are the sole custodian.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile you must continue to work. You are now a single parent, paying legal fees to ensure the child stays in the safety of your home, you cannot count on family for child care, as they are already given you a place to stay. You have to work so you have to pay for someone to care for the child while you work.<br />
<br />
All the while, facing the internal struggles of what this situation is showing you - is there any hope for the future? How can you provide for the child alone? What is the main point within all of this... money. Money is the one thing that will ensure a stable process of finding you and your child a place to call home and your ability to pay for legal services and child care. You must also remember to provide food and clothing for yourself and your child, as well as transportation cost for all the required traveling. You are pushed into a situation where you are not free to move about and make the rational decisions that are currently necessary of you, as you are also faced with the emotional turmoil of losing your partner to addiction, while attempting to remain focused on the child's best interest.<br />
<br />
What do you do? What do you do in a world where you are not given the proper support to walk through this transition period? You must not only focus on the child and their well being, and your stability in a living environment, and that you are the one responsible, legally, for the child, you must also ensure you have the Money to pay for this all, within also ensuring your own sanity in this whole thing.<br />
<br />
Imagine now if there was a Living Income Guarantee that allowed you the financial support to do what you needed to do in order to get your life aligned to the best possible situation for you and your child. You would be given the resources you needed for child care, food, shelter and transportation. You would not have to worry about work and the time away from making sure all these other things are in place, as you are given the support to do that without having to work. It is a bridge of support, a temporary relief from any added stress so that you can handle and take care of what is necessary to get through a difficult time, without having to worry about where the money is coming from - it's here for you. Because as a human, you have a right to your basic human rights and the rights of your child. You have a right to take care of priorities without having to worry about the time you must put in to work to ensure you have the Money that, without it, wouldn't give you the opportunity to walk through this time in your life with as much ease as possible.<br />
<br />
Why is this not a guarantee for all? Why does our money system say it doesn't matter what happens, if you don't work, you cannot survive, because you need money to buy your life. Why do we not unconditionally care and support each other to do what is necessary to take care of ourselves, our children and our family? Why do we not honor each other with that ability - the ability which is our birth right?<br />
<br />
This is another situation that many have and are facing where a Living Income Guarantee would support. You are given the money necessary to take care of your basic needs of survival to walk the process to ensure everyone is stable and cared for. You do not have to work to make money through this stage, unless you see you are able. You can take the time you need to get support for your partner. The opportunity that opens up for the one individual is beyond what we have at the moment, not to mention the self-care available as the time for oneself to work through any internal conflict or struggles that happen in such a situation.<br />
<br />
Our economic system should not put more stress on an individual, it should in fact be a life-support system that allows one the ability to live - isn't that what we strive for in our technological, social and economic claim of advancement - a better standard of living for all? If all are not having access to such a point, then we have failed in our "advancement" - we have only then re-designed the same pattern where some are kept in dire situations of worry, stress and fear, while others are ensured their life and living is comfortable and so any unexpected events, such as the one above, does not become a burden and an experience of hopelessness. We have come too far along in our history to have not yet learned that when all individuals in a society are supported to exist in a state of well being, which is supported through ensuring all their basic rights as a human, than you have a healthy society as a whole. It is a disservice to ourselves as a whole in not making sure money is used to support All life, through all situations and events, and not used as a weapon to keep people trapped, in fear and without hope.<br />
<br />
Stand in the Shoes of Another, Imagine who you would be and what would best support you. Ensure that you could trade the lives of anyone on Earth and still live in dignity - Investigate the <a href="http://livingincome.me/">Living Income Guarantee</a>, proposed by the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EqualLifeFoundation">Equal Life Foundation</a>. Stand up for those that are not in a position to do so.<br />

After starting slow in my education process, I have been a full-time student the last 3 semesters.<br />
<br />
While I have been in school, I have also been working. Obviously one require money to support any kind of life in this world, to buy food, to live in a house, to live in an area with fresh, clean drinking water, to have clothes to buy, to have transportation - everything we currently use as a means to Life and Living costs money.<br />
<br />
This includes education. My education is not free. It's quite expensive actually. And with finishing a two-year degree this spring, I have made the decision to stop for the moment, because financially, I cannot practically afford to continue with my education.<br />
<br />
Obviously I could continue to take out student loans, which I have been doing to support myself to get my education. Yet at the rate of which I've accumulated and the cost of living where it's at, I see it would be more beneficial for me to stop the education process for the moment and get a job in the field in which my degree and the certificates I am completing, are in, which is accounting. I realize that if I am to continue to get my undergraduate degree, I will more likely get a better paying job in this field.<br />
<br />
However - for a single person, independently supporting themselves financially, attempting to go to school as well, is a very difficult thing. To work and to Educate oneself in our current system is unreasonably expensive. Yes we can put ourselves into debt yet is this something that is best for ourselves?<br />
<br />
I am 28 years old and in my early twenties, was ignorant to the debt system of our world and the consequences of taking out loans and charging credit cards. I am still paying back the debt I accumulated from the beginning of my twenties. With this and now the accumulated student debt, I am not eager to continue to go into debt trying to get an education. From my perspective, it would be best for me to enter my field with the certificates I have and work my way up then to continue putting myself into debt while I continue to get a higher degree.<br />
<br />
Now I am not saying I do not want to finish my education - I very much would like to complete at least a bachelor's in my field of choice. Yet for the time being, it's best I do not continue to dig a deeper hole that accumulated debt is and to instead work with the debt I've already established, by getting a stable job that provides a stable income and work towards paying down my debts.<br />
<br />
This is a classic scenario for many my age. If you do not come from money, if your parents are not able to help out financially, if you are unable to go through your classes at a full-time rate, the education process can be slow and costly. Almost impossible for one who is faced with the reality of our current economic system, alone, and realizes survival is the first priority. So when many work for a minimum wage or around that or have to have second jobs - the option to educate yourself to be able to get a better job that is more financially secure, the idea of being able to educate yourself seems hopeless.<br />
<br />
I mean when survival is not guaranteed and debt is a certainty in life - what are we signing up for when we go into school? Are we ever guaranteed a job when we graduate to be able to start even paying back what we owe for the years we've been educating ourselves?<br />
<br />
This is one reason why I support a Living Income Guarantee and see how this would change my Life as a current College Student.<br />
<br />
With a Living Income Guarantee - one is giving the financial support to ensure all the survival necessities are in place. Money to have a home, to have food, to have clean water and to have proper health care and the ability to be educated.<br />
<br />
I mean just from the one point of having a Living Income Guarantee while in school would take the pressure of the time requirement that is necessary for one to study and do well in school while also working to survive - this one point would remove the need to work so one can focus on doing the best in their studies to ensure they get the most out of their education. Yet with the Living Income Guarantee - one is able to educate themselves simply because this is a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT8Sfq-pF3Y&feature=share&list=PLF1C58F4AAD6CFD13">fundamental human right</a>. ALL should be able to educate themselves, freely, as we all know that a healthy society consists of healthy individuals, and being educated allows for one to think critically, become more rational in their life decisions and thus more inclined to make choices that not only serve them but others as well.<br />
<br />
I see how the last few years in my education process would be different if I was supported unconditionally with a Living Income. Yet that is not yet our reality. We will have to make the changes, see what we are supporting in this world, realize the common sense the Living Income represents and how not only will it serve people to educate themselves, but to also be able to Live. No more homelessness, no more poverty, no more ignorance in our world - we will make choices that are best for everyone involved, which includes ourselves and the first place we can start is to Stand in support of a Living Income Guarantee.<br />
<br />
No one should fear furthering their education because of the lack of funding. Money should not be an obstacle for someone finding something they truly enjoy and wants to get further education and training in. We should be free to learn and expand and express and create while we are here on Earth - not in fear of survival and fear of debt and fear of working our whole lives without the ability to tap into our passions that would also support the betterment of All. When one is giving the opportunity to 'go for it' in terms of making themselves a more well-rounded, satisfied human being, when one is supported to be actually happy and stress-free, then we have individuals within a society that no more exist in conflict or friction in their life - no more aggression towards others without understanding the real reason. A living income is what we need in this world - a support foundation that allows all the opportunity with the ability to better themselves, and most simplistically, to live.<br />
<br />
Investigate <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EqualLifeFoundation">Equal Life Foundation </a>and the <a href="http://livingincome.me/">Living Income Guarantee</a> - it's time we take responsibility for what we have as our current economic system that does not make any sense when it comes to actually Living on Earth - it's time we redefine the rules of our Existence and say ALL have the right to Live in Dignity and to pursue their passion and enjoyment yet first we must ensure all are able to survive. We must do that equally for all. Those that currently cannot, because of our Money System - then we Change it. We give to others what we would like to receive and we do not accept anything less of ourselves.<br />
<br />
Be a part of the solution. <a href="http://livingincome.me/">Investigate - Educate - Take a Stand</a>. We have this one life, is the one purpose to make money? Or to discover who we are, the skills we have, how to interact and relate with each other - to better ourselves and thus the betterment of All?<br />
<br />
I am a Student and I support a Living Income Guarantee.<br />

<span id="goog_1321598496"></span><span id="goog_1321598497"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a>When a child is born into this world... are their basic human rights provided to them? Are they ensured that they will be cared for properly? Are they ensured that they will have a home, health care, food and parents that are in a position to effectively support them in growing up in our world? Some yes - those with Money; money is currently the determining factor of what kind of life you live and whether you have access to any form of human rights. However, many no - because many within our world are not guaranteed money, and thus are not guaranteed access to basic human rights. Actually - no one is guaranteed basic human rights. We might think we are, and even the United Nations have so graciously placed words on a document saying that each and every human being does in fact have 'inalienable' rights as a human - that are the basic requirements in order to live a decent life on Earth. But is this guaranteed? No because money is what buys us that, and again, not all have access to enough in order to actually provide it for themselves. Basic Human rights are implied to be given freely, to All, as an understanding of what is required to survive in this world, and yet - this is not given.<br />
<br />
The only guarantee that we have is if we make enough money, then we can buy ourselves the comforts that shelter us from a World that does not support any one's Basic Right to Life.<br />
<br />
And children are victims in our World and this acceptance.<br />
<br />
Children are born into a world where the parents have no clue how to raise them, as they were raised by the generation before who had no clue how to raise them, and before them the same and so a pattern has been repeated throughout time, as parents are simply the product of a world that does not actually care enough to Live the Words it speaks or writes - as we have the words placed - we see what is necessary for a Human to be able to Live and yet it is not implemented. It is not enforced. It is simply there, in the background without action. And thus parents are teaching, as they have been taught, to not ask any questions and simply accept our World to be the way it is - where some are fortunate and others are not.<br />
<br />
Do we have any right to bring a Child into this world? While so many children that are here are not being provided their basic human rights? Isn't it our responsibility to ensure that ALL humans are given their rights to life - actually their ABILITY to live - should we not first ensure this is a reality for all before we continue to bring children into this world that does not prove that it can support them?<br />
<br />
Obviously children are going to be born into this world - we will not stop that, however then we MUST consider preparing a reality that is best for them. Surely that is what we would like for ourselves? I mean, have we stood in the shoes of the children? Wouldn't we want to be supported with proper health, diet, a family unit that can create a stable human and not an emotional, self interested consumer that continues to not care about this world? Wouldn't we like to be able to be educated? Wouldn't we like the opportunity to express and explore what this real world - the natural world, has to offer? Wouldn't we like to be able to take care of ourselves? Wouldn't we like to be able to live a fulfilling life where ALL our basic rights as a human are met and provided for? Surely we would - so why are we not ensuring that this is a reality? Why do we think we can continue to ignore the fundamental problem of our society - that no human rights are being offered or given and millions of children are continued to be allowed within this world without assuring any kind of safety or future for them. In fact - the future we are currently creating for the children to come is of misery.<br />
<br />
Time to become responsible and get out of the 'now' of what is right in our immediate attention and consider the consequences of our lack of action. What kind of future are we possibly creating from where we are currently standing? It is clear, one that is NOT best for our children, or for ourselves and each other.<br />
<br />
Investigate the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EqualLifeFoundation">Equal Life Foundation</a> as an Organization actually providing a solution to our World and the Problem that we currently face - Children without Basic Human Rights. Become an advocate for Life and give your Life to ensure we leave a place worthy for the Children to come. Stand in the shoes and realize you would want this for yourself.<br />

That means 2 out of 7 people on this planet go without proper food and nutrition. Food is a requirement for survival, as it is for majority of the other species on this planet. Without food, the body becomes weak, withers away and dies. We currently produce food to sustain 12 billion people on this planet. That is almost twice as many people that are actually here, so why do some not have access to this food? There are many theories based on why people in this world go hungry, yet are any justifiable? The withholding of a proper food source to any human being on this planet is so transparently murder. Without food we die; there is enough food to feed everyone, and so I would suggest greed has taken hold and we have created ourselves to be murderers. Some might gasp at the comparison, yet isn’t it obvious? There is no knife we throw or gun we shoot, but not giving food to a person leads to starvation; to death – a death that is so easily preventable. As our economic system caters to the wealthy and justifies why some might have to starve, the only solution is to remove the power in which we have given to money. If money is the resource we require to sustain our survival, then money is a basic human right and all are entitled to it. World hunger would be eradicated with a system of equality; where all have equal access to the resources that Earth provides, including food. So what is stopping us? What excuses are we still allowing?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It seems school shootings - gun use to kill other humans is becoming more and more common. Anyone else wondering or <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/reptilians-the-question-part-7>questioning</a> what the <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/hell-spoof>hell</a> is going on here? <br />
<br />
Have we stopped and asked ourselves, "hmm.. people, and <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/life-review-a-child-s-mind-in-an-adult-body>CHILDREN</a> are becoming more and more commonly <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/life-review-the-taking-this-personally-victim>victims</a> of gun violence... perhaps we should be re-evaluating how and why this is continuing to happen!?!"<br />
<br />
Anyone... anyone...?<br />
<br />
In conversation with another about the most recent atrocity that took place in Connecticut - where 20 children fell victim to the mental instability of another and the <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/reptilians-the-future-of-consequence-part-41>consequences</a> of our current state of humanity, certain questions arose within me. <br />
<br />
Like what the fuck is the point of Guns?<br />
<br />
Why do guns even exist? First thing is that it is used as protection... so what are we protecting ourselves from? WHO are we protecting ourselves from, and why have we created, <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/lifereview-being-liked>accepted</a> and allowed ourselves to exist within a world where we need protection? Would Guns exist if we lived in a world where <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/the-consequences-of-survival>survival</a> does not have to be bought and paid for - but given freely to all?<br />
<br />
Do guns exist because we enjoy the <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/life-review-a-sports-fanatic>sport</a> of killing another life form? Is the <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/the-inversion-of-purpose-and-diversion-of-life>purpose</a> of Guns merely for entertainment... the entertainment of shooting and killing life? Is this what we accept as a normal way of entertaining ourselves? "Hey Bob.. I'm bored, what do you want to do today? Oh I know... let's go out and kill other species just for the hell of it, because it's FUN!!" <br />
<br />
Do we use guns to feed ourselves? Do we really, at this stage of technological advancements require to shoot something in order to feed ourselves? Doesn't that seems like we are living in the past, and have not actually evolved, as we are still primitively hunting and killing an <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/the-reptilians-enforcing-the-submission-of-animals-to-the-dominion-of-man-part-1-part-121>animal</a> so that we can eat? And we call ourselves a superior species... obviously using guns to feed ourselves is not effective, when we have failed to feed our population, as the 1 out of 7 people dying from <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/the-world-s-great-divide>starvation</a> reveal. <br />
<br />
Do we use guns to feel powerful and superior and strong? Do we require guns to assert ourselves as a species? Proof that we are untouchable because we have a weapon in our hands that can kill anything that moves?<br />
<br />
What are we protecting in our "right to bare arms?" What could we possible be defending with the argument of using such a thing that humans can deliberately use to kill another?... when we have proven more <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/reptilians-time-consciousness-s-worst-enemy-part-67>times</a> then necessary throughout our existence, currently... WE CANNOT BE TRUSTED.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it's <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/atlanteans-controlling-time-part-13>time</a> for us as a species to start questioning ourselves and the things we use in our Life - like Guns. When the existence of Guns and the lack of responsibility Humanity has shown to create and support STABLE human beings in this world is evident... then it's time we become humble and STOP. <br />
<br />
After 20 years of a slow but surely increase of public shootings... to the point where children in 1st grade are now victims of our ineffectiveness to care for life, you would think we would take a real, long, hard look at ourselves and what this world in it's entire manifestation is showing to us. That we have fucked up - and it's time to start taking responsibility.<br />
<br />
No child should have to die for us to have to realize we must stop and <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/reptilians-the-fear-of-change-part-29>change</a> our ways. And yet - every 5 seconds a child does die. From preventable causes. We have not only failed as Humanity in our creation and allowed existences of Guns - we have failed to give the most basic right to Life to All. <br />
<br />
In an <a href=http://www.equalmoney.org>Equal <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/the-soul-of-money-how-money-thrive-from-personality-evolution-part-33>Money</a> System</a> - not only will ALL life be honored with the ability to survive with it's most basic requirements here on Earth... we will also be in a position to actually become self reflective and begin our <a href=http://desteniiprocess.com/>process</a> of self correction. To place EVERYTHING that is here within questioning.. and ask ourselves, Is this Best for All? Is the Existence of Guns Best for All?<br />
<br />
If we no longer have to protect our sense of survival - would we need guns?<br />
<br />
If we are supported to express and live and not just survive - would we need guns?<br />
<br />
If we were not so utterly bored with this current accepted way of "life" - would we need guns?<br />
<br />
If we were acting in self honesty and truly a manifestation of Humanity - would we need guns?<br />
<br />
Investigate the <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/the-solution-of-life>Solution</a> to ALL accepted forms of <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/life-review-growing-up-with-physical-abuse>abuse</a> in this world - Investigate <a href="http://equalmoney.org">Equal Money</a>. Dare to Question what we are currently having to face as our Manifested Consequences and dare to see if we can actually create a World where we can start Living Humane.<br />
<br />
Investigate <a href="http://www.desteni.org">Desteni</a> and <a href="http://lit.desteniiprocess.com">DIP Lite</a> - to start sorting out the violence and abuse of our secret mind that direct us to live out the daily neglect of Life our World is currently reflecting to us.<br />

Within this course, we are learning about the basic understandings of different Environmental Sciences, such as Ecology, Sociology, and Economics. While it's an interesting class and am appreciating the course - there is one thing... one statement my Professor keeps making... and I just want to correct him every time. <br />
<br />
While discussing the topic of Human Population and food production, he always claims, "we produce enough food to feed the human population, yet we do not distribute it Equally" then he will go on to say, "this is about our Economics," he will further add, "even with more humans on the planet today then 150 years ago, we are doing a better job now feeding people then we were." <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://altrapoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/poverty_wideweb__430x387.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="387" width="430" src="http://altrapoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/poverty_wideweb__430x387.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
And... what is your point? Have we forgotten that despite what "progress" we believe we have made, Humans are STILL STARVING. And the point of there being less starving people today then there was 150 years ago is not even a point to be made, because people are still starving. The fact that even ONE <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/life-review-a-child-s-mind-in-an-adult-body>child</a> - ONE human being is denied food, that WE are producing for ALL to be able to eat - the fact that one person is denied nourishment - we have not evolved, we have not made any progress and we have not got a clue. If there is enough food to feed everyone... why are people starving? Yes - because of our Economic System. Because of the way we are distributing the resources of this Earth, which by the way, is GIVEN freely. <br />
<br />
What are we waiting for? To be the ONE person that is still starving? Then perhaps will we care enough to hear... care enough to make the change? That is where we have failed... failed to stand in the shoes of ALL being in this world, and realize... we would not like to be the the ones on the other side, the ones that are still being shit on by our accepted unequal distributions of resources. Time to Stop. Time to Stand Equal.<br />
<br />
So what are we missing? Our <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/the-soul-of-money-how-money-thrive-from-personality-evolution-part-33>Money</a> God as Profit being <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/lifereview-being-liked>accepted</a> as more valuable than LIFE itself. <br />
<br />
How do we fix this? Simple - take the one resource we have deemed "almighty" and give to ALL Equally! Equal Money = Equal Distribution of Resources. <br />
<br />
Wow - what a simple solution! <br />
<br />
This is not to talk shit about my professor, don't get me wrong. I just wanted to share this most simple point, if we have the power to <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/reptilians-the-fear-of-change-part-29>CHANGE</a> this world, and yet <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/life-review-how-addiction-to-suffering-and-pain-killed-me>suffering</a> still exists - then we cannot claim to have evolved as a species. We cannot claim to be a superior species. We have in fact failed at our ability and potential to actually Live in caring for All life that is here, as this Earth, as ourselves. <br />
<br />
So - let's stop patting ourselves on the back for a job we have not yet completed. Time to take responsibility in implementing the SOLUTION that is already here. Stop World Hunger. Stop Poverty. Stop unnecessary death. Be One Vote for an <a href=http://www.equalmoney.org>Equal Money System</a> and let's once and for All Live as the advanced Species we so righteously claim. Time to make it Real. <br />
<br />
Check out the Equal Money site and cast your vote on policies that we are busy walking a <a href=http://desteniiprocess.com/>process</a> to implementing. Be a part of the Money Revolution, where we are no longer serving the Money God as our profit, I mean prophet that we so blindly follow, and start realizing we already have the solution to <a href=http://eqafe.com/p/life-review-fear-of-change>change</a> this world into What is Best for ALL! <br />

What's interesting is that... <br />
<br />
When you Look at what Jesus Spoke - the Words he expressed and the overall Message he shared was, "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself" and "GIVE to Another what You would like to Receive".. and so within these words he spoke exists Equality... how else can you love your neighbor as yourself or give to another what you would like to receive.. without seeing them as equals. The only reason we do not live these words is Because we do not see ourselves as Equals - we see ourselves as threats, we do not trust each other as we do not trust ourselves. And so there exists no Equality or Oneness. <br />
<br />
So what is the Living Word in Fact? Equality and Oneness... this is what Jesus spoke, this is what he LIVED and thus he was the Living Word, as an example for us all... Live the Words as who you are, who you Really are. Words in a book are not Living - they are expressed in a Life as each being. We speak and communicate, and what does this world look like? Separation, inequality, starvation, rape, murder, blame, competition... etc, and so these are the Words we Live. <br />
<br />
What was Jesus's Message? BE the <a href="www.desteni.org">LIVING WORD</a> of Equality and Oneness - Give to another what you would Like to Receive, See each other as your Equal and Love them as you would have them Love you... This is the Living Word of Equality and Oneness. In the Bible we can see the words we currently live as it is Manifested in the Whole World, while is true message of Equality and Oneness get's swept to the side. <br />
<br />
The Real Living Word of this World was given as example in the Way Jesus LIVED: expressing himself as all as One as Equal - giving to All equally, seeing All Equally. We do not currently Live this, as we accept something 'higher and greater' to be in control of this world, when Jesus said, the Kingdom of Heaven is within You - thus Become Responsible for yourself in THIS WORLD, and create a World that is Best for All = where we become the LIving Words that is Best for All - Equality and Oneness. We do this with an Equal Money System. <br />
<br />
So Love, and compassion and caring does not exist.. we do not actually live these words because we do not <a href="www.equalmoney.org">support All life to actually Live Here</a>. Until we have an Equal Money System in place, we wont. And so it is our mission to walk this into reality, as ourselves. Living the Words of Equality and Oneness through implementing such a Solution for All. "Give to another what you would like to Recieve" = Give to ALL the ability to be supported here to Live, to express, to get to know who we really are without the fear of survival... this is the Living Word of Jesus. <br />
<br />
Investigate an Equal Money System if you claim to be a follower of Jesus and his message - and this is his message Returned after 2000 Years. Live Equality and Oneness as who you are Equal and One with All and Give All Life... Create and Equal Money System. <br />

"Stop trying to change the system - just Live your Life until you die"<br />
<br />
It's like we as humanity cannot fathom at all how we can actually create such a system. And just accept this idea..."It will never happen"<br />
<br />
Or people will say, "It's a nice idea... but I don't agree with all of it" - People compare it to communism or socialism and accept the beliefs about these kinds of systems that has been programmed through their country as 'bad'<br />
<br />
We don't give ourselves even an ounce of <a href="www.desteni.org">realization</a> that this System is what is best for all.. and if All would open their minds and their eyes to what is currently here as this world, we can see - Equal Money is THE Solution!<br />
<br />
Instead of reacting to Equal Money as being "impossible" - see how you can <a href="www.equalmoney.org">create this</a>. Ask questions, join the forum, vote on the site, investigate, research.... do anything you can see see/realize/understand how the Equal Money System is actually Best for All ( BEST FOR YOU ) and dedicate your LIfe to bringing this System about for All. Realizing that it will Change EVERYTHING that we currently accept as the expression of Life within Humanity.<br />
<br />
Instead of accepting the beliefs that 'it will never change' - get up, stand up and Make the change. Don't let believes in your Mind tell you to give up before you have even started. The Equal Money System is just an idea until Real People Take the Challenge to Actually Create this. Yet we will get no one if we continue to believe 'it will never work'<br />
<br />
What option do we have? To simply forget about a creating a System that is Best for all and continue our struggle to survive while some have the luxury of living heaven on earth with all the money - and while even more are suffering at the hands of this system we don't dare to change?<br />
<br />
There is no choice - We have to create this as our Reality - because if we don't, who will? And can we wait for this person? No - we can see how giving our power away to those is positions to change policy does not actually create real change in this world - thus, let's BE THE CHANGE. Taking back the power within our own hands to get our asses in gear. The time is Here - Life is Calling.<br />
<br />
Join the Equal Money RealLove-Solution - where we are ensuring that we are the One's to get our butts within positions in this World that then Decide the create/change the System into that which is Best for All = EQUAL MONEY<br />
<br />

BE the CHANGE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01374/g20-protests2_1374149c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="288" width="460" src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01374/g20-protests2_1374149c.jpg" /></a></div>As we see more and more becoming aware of 'the system'...<br />
<br />
what do we see for solutions?<br />
<br />
People walking in the streets - yelling at 'those to blame' and sitting and waiting for their anger to be validated through change. <br />
<br />
Does this sound like something that will change the System? <br />
<br />
Obviously not - as we have seen protests for years and years with no real solution created - only a temporary relief where we are able to 'lash out' our angst to those we want to blame for the way things are. Stop Waiting for Change - CHANGE YOURSELF<br />
<br />
Why does no one consider using what is Here already? We have Systems in place - that will, with the 'right kind of people' - Ones Standing Up for what is Best for All - Ones willing to Stand AS the System - that can/will include Everyone Equally - through 1 Vote. One Person = One Vote. Democracy. <br />
<br />
We humans tend to want to blame the system - blame those in power - blame those with money - blame those in 'control' - yet while we are busy blaming - we fail to see what we are actually allowing. We allow our own enslavement - our own dis-empowerment - our own control, as we have yet to consider BEING the Change - Stand AS the System - using what is already Here to implement a System that is Best for All. <br />
<br />
Are we too impatient... to impatient to educate ourselves to 'get to know' the system, how it operates/functions and how we are able to tweak it in order to care for all. <br />
<br />
The point is that it's not 'them' - It is US. WE are the ones, all equally creating/accepting/allowing this System to function as it does, and thus it is US that has to Change it... and waving flags and banners and yelling chants of blame will solve nothing... we are then less than the system not realizing the system is us. We have to change ourselves as the system - through taking Responsiblity for what is Here - educating ourselves and PLACING OURSELVES in the Position of Power. <a href="www.desteniiprocess.com">BE the Change</a> - BE the System - BE in this World, not of it, and Change it from the inside out. <br />
<br />
We as <a href="www.destonians.com">Destonians</a> realize protests and resisting the system is useless - as with or without our percieved participation - the system continues, and so we must be the ones to Stop it. <br />
<br />
How? Getting off our Asses and MOVING ourselves to be within this World - within the System - where we can be the ones to effectively change the System. <br />
<br />
Calling all Activists - starting ACTING in ways that are Best for All by educating ourselves through STOPPING judgments of what is Here - taking SELF responsibility for what is Here - and CHANGING what is Here. We got the Tools - we got the System, Democracy. One Man = One Vote. So Let's create a Political Party that is Best for All - that is Here to Create an Equal Life for All. <br />
<br />
See yourself as the System and you then Give yourself the Power to Change the System.<br />
<br />
Investigate the Equal Life Party - wherein our first priority is implementing an <a href="www.equalmoney.org">Equal Money System</a>. This is Real Change - Once and for ALL.<br />
<br />Kristina Salashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13042983577743921210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79246328378726157.post-77902246582341194742012-02-16T02:00:00.000-08:002012-02-16T02:04:49.192-08:002012: A Cure for Cancer does not Serve the Money GodLast night I watched a documentary about a Doctor named Burzynski that has been, since the 80's, treating all sorts of cancers, including the most fatal diagnosis of children's brain cancer, and having success in the cancer going away. He found through his own research specific genes in healthy humans that were not present in a human with cancer. So - he created a treatment that supplied those with cancers with these specific genes and ways of turning off some genes - with no side affects except the depletion of the cancerous masses in the body. <br />
<br />
HOLY FUCK you must be saying to yourself. There is basically a CURE for CANCER.... so why don't people know about this?<br />
<br />
My brother has mentioned this to me before in the past - before I was willing to take a self honest look at this world and what is actually in power and control - before I realized that our governments and corporations with interests in the public's lack of awareness. If there were actually a Cure of Cancer - why didn't ALL know about this?<br />
<br />
Simple - because it does not serve the interest of the billion dollar industry of pharmaceutical companies and the FDA. And - within our current economic system - Profit is more Valuable than Human Life. How can I say that? Because Dr. Burzynski has been taken to court more then 5 times by the State of Texas and even the FDA to get him to stop treating people with the solution. WHY? Because chemotherapy and radiation treatment and the mass of pills they want you to buy would basically go into extinction. Dr. Burzynski would be rewarded with money for his research - which would be taken out of the hands of the current hoarders 'on top'. <br />
<br />
How can this be? Why would the government agencies such as the FDA and pharmaceutical companies want to prevent people from having what they apparently present to people - a treatment/cure/solution for diseases such as cancer? Because we live in a capitalistic system - Profit is God. Money is more valuable then Life - and this is a prime example of why our current economic system does NOT serve Life - it serves the few - those with Money. <br />
<br />
Obviously we can see that this is Not Best for ALL. In an <a href="www.equalmoney.org">Equal Money System</a> - Dr. Burzynski's treatment for Cancer would be available to All - as it is best for All. He and his research would not be suppressed by companies and corporations because it would no longer serve the profit rich comapanies - as Profit would no longer be more Valuable then Life. I mean take a look at this and ask yourself in common sense - why would a treatment for cancer be suppressed? Why would our companies want to keep this quiet? How is it that majority of people have not heard of this before? <br />
<br />
Investigate an Equal Money System - as it WOULD Stop this power games of the 'higher ups' and give Value back to Life. Only in an Equal Money System can we stop some benefiting from others sickness. Equal Money = Equal life = Life = Value. No More would Money be more Valuable. This must stop. We must create a new system that supports ALL Life - as it is in the best interest of ALL. <br />
<br />
Investigate this current system - see how it operates - see how it can change with an Equal Money System - see the COmmon Sense of Equal Money. DOn't accept what is here as the idea that it cannot be changed, because <a href="www.desteni.org">YOU can change this</a>. <br />

Simple - what does Barb Wire currently represent in our society and how is it used?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTOdBNWp649oNGdzkB8WPnROA69KnldmqyzgcLVIS2YcbaYd6RD" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="194" width="260" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTOdBNWp649oNGdzkB8WPnROA69KnldmqyzgcLVIS2YcbaYd6RD" /></a></div><br />
We use it to protect ourselves, to protect our things. We use it to keep our 'stuff' protected and safe... from apparently people who want our stuff and are trying to take our stuff. So this is a point of fear. Fear of losing what we have and fear of people taking what we have. How can this be possible in an Equal Money System? Only in a 'Money is God' Society would we fear losing what we have - which what we have represents the money that we have - as we are only able to 'have things' with money. So in a World where some have money and others do not have money, or not in a position to get money, we believe we have to protect ourselves from others taking what we have. It's like our fear of survival. Whether we are protecting our land or homes or animals - we barb wire our property to stake a claim that 'this is our stuff and I will put barb wire around my stuff so that you do not get my stuff'. And what is fascinating is that barb wire causes deliberate physical pain - and so we make people suffer for attempting to take our stuff. <br />
<br />
The Idea that we need to keep others from getting what we have can only exist in a System where all are not supported in living and are not all available to the resource we require to have in order to live in this world, which is Money. In an Equal Money System - all will be given the support to live a life of dignity - where we will not believe we have to keep our stuff from others - as all with have the equal amount of stuff - such as the basic requirements to Live. <br />
<br />
Barb Wire is the manifestation of Fear within Humanity, the Separation within Humanity. We enclose ourselves out form the rest of the world, from those that don't have money in order to keep what we have - fear of survival. Fear of each other. <br />
<br />
And for those that are daring enough to try to get through or cross over a barbed wire - they are willing to risk physical injury just to get what someone else has. You think they do this 'just because'? NO - it is because they are without - they are not being supported in this World and are willing to face physical pain in order to survive. To think they are responsible for the pain they allow on themselves in attempt to get through a barb wire is the lack of self responsibility we require to have in this world. Simply place yourself in the shoes of another - so desperate to survive - they are willing to hurt themselves in order to have something. So then who will take responsibility for the current money system that does not support all? Until this is changes - the fear will remain. <br />
<br />
Barbed wire is such a means to divide and separate people. We use it in prisons - the manifestation of humanity imprisoning themselves. Keeping themselves locked a way in fear of being exposed to the rest of the World. We are so afraid of each other - no surprise we have manifested such a thing as barbed wire - a way to separate ourselves and ensuring physical pain on anyone that dares to come to close. <br />
<br />
Barbed wire can only exist in a Society of Separation - where there is no Life, and there is no Love. As we don't care what happens to each other so long as we ourselves are protected and safe and able to survive. In an Equal Money System - there will be no fear of someone taking what I have - as all will be supported to have as well. <br />
<br />
Barb wire was used in the Nazi Concentration Camps. It was a way to keep people separated from each other and from escaping. Such a thing only exists where we an individuals seek power over another - control over another - and are in extreme fear of each other. Imagine a world where Barb Wire didn't exist. This is in an Equal Money System.<br />
<br />
In an <a href="http://eqafe.com/i/ksalas-equal-money-future-of-money-volume-1">Equal Money System</a> - we all will be supported to live here - all will be supported with the basic requirements of survival. And thus - we will no longer fear our own survival and be in a constant state of panic of someone taking what we have - again, fear of loss. We will not fear losing what we have as we will be supported to have - all will have equally. <br />
<br />
The point is that Barb Wire is the manifestation of Self Abuse. Where we seek to abuse each other through physical pain in order to enslave ourselves to our fear and our survival. If all 'have' we wouldn't fear those that 'have not'. <br />
<br />
It's Simple Really - <a href="www.equalmoney.org">Give to All Equally</a> and we can Remove the Barb Wire. Give to All Equally - and we can stop the Fear of Each other. Give to All Equally - and we can share with each other what nature provides to all. Give to All Equally - and we no longer have to use barb wire to protect our fear of survival. <br />
<br />
No Need for Barb Wire in an Equal Money System!<br />

Today I read an article in the local paper about small Diary farms selling their cattle to large corporations so that they could have a 'cattle retirement'. What this means is that they kill the cattle. Why would they do this? They did this to cut out competition and to raise the demand of cattle - meaning they killed over 500,000 cows from 2006-2010 so that the demand for diary milk would rise... and so would the profit. These corporate companies made more then 5.7 million dollars on these dead cows because the demand for milk went up and so did the price. <br />
<br />
This is just one example of the tactics used in corporations that disregard Life - in all its form - to get a hold of the almighty dollar. <br />
<br />
Food prices also rise because of the the way they are being made. If the price of oil goes up - so does food cost. In a society where everything is interconnected - the more we utilize unsustainable ways to create - the higher the cost as it becomes more in demand. So if our food source is dependent on oil - where will we be when our oil runs out?<br />
<br />
In an Equal Money System - food will be made to be support for the body, as we all require to eat to survive. We will no longer be existing in a profit driven society - and thus animals will not have to die for someone to get rich. Food will be grown practically in ways that sustain our system. We will have more local growing and no more big corporate business running the show and delegating the price of food and who should get it and who shouldn't. <br />
<br />
In an Equal Money System - we will not have the fear of survival driving farmers to produce more food for fuel - as that is what brings in more profit - and in turn less food for humans being made and again - the demand becomes higher and more expensive. <br />
<br />
In an Equal Money System - we will not act out of the fear to survive or to have more then another... we will all be equally supported to live and thus will start working together to create a sustainable way to grow food and provide it to all. <br />
<br />
Prices of food or anything for the that matter will not raise in an Equal Money System - as we will remove our Value of Money and give it to where it belongs - to Life and so we will start working in ways that support All Equally - and do not give to some and leave the rest without.<br />

<br />
No more 'special people' in this world.<br />
<br />
No more separation between human beings defined by money<br />
<br />
No more Separation between human beings defined by the way that we look.<br />
<br />
Have we ever stopped and asked ourselves... What the fuck? are we accepting and allowing to exist within ourselves as Hollywood? <br />
<br />
Whether it's the stars in the sky or the stars in the Movie - we are blinded by lights and turn a blind eye to reality. <br />
<br />
Why do we pay people to entertain us?<br />
<br />
Why do we pay to read about celebrity life?<br />
<br />
Why do we see our lives so mundane and inferior to others?<br />
<br />
No more Hollywood in an Equal Money System.<br />
<br />
No more watching a movie instead of watching over ourselves<br />
<br />
No more distracting ourselves with pretty pictures instead of facing our reality.<br />
<br />
No more giving a human being a million dollars to dress up and make us feel something instead of ensuring all life is cared for.<br />
<br />
No more accepting and allowing STARvation to exist while we are busy watching the stars. <br />
<br />
<br />
I mean - in self honesty - look at this with real eyes. <br />
<br />
We get excited by celebrities and musicians and beings who we accept as superior to us because we pay them to entertain us - we get excited to watch them walk down the red carpet showing of their face and their bodies and there dresses and gowns that could feed a country.<br />
<br />
We support them in their deliberate abuse in participating in a money system that does not support all life - it only supports those that choose to accept the system and be of the system through getting more money.<br />
<br />
Imagine this - we pay an actress more to lead us through a make believe story then we pay our teachers to teach our children. <br />
<br />
We have gotten so lost in the illusion of Life - that we have giving up on our own Reality. <br />
<br />
In an Equal Money System - We we no longer be blinded by our desire for money and those that have it - we will honor all life - ensure all life is allowed to live. <br />
<br />
In an Equal Money System - we will no longer pay someone money to entertain us and keep us busy. We will take responsibility for what is here and see the foolishness we have allowed. <br />
<br />
No longer will we benefit those that we deem beautiful - casting a shadow on those we see in the polarity - no more with girls feel like they have to look like the girl on the television - because she is told that is beautiful. No more believing we are unworthy of who we are here.<br />
<br />
No more will we allow the desire for sex and greed and lust direct us on where our attention goes - we will given our attention to what is here - what is necessary to be done - what is required to change. <br />
<br />
In an Equal Money System - there will be no more award shows giving trophies to people for putting on a show - we will live for REAL with each other - ALL beings Equally - no one more, no one less - All equal. <br />
<br />
We will stop the illusion of the elusive hollywood - we will expose it for what it is. Another grouping of stars we hope to make contact with.<br />
<br />
Time to get back to Reality - time to get our head out of the clouds. Time to ground ourselves here, as the earth, and create a world that is best for all. One where celebrities no longer exist - but life is allowed to be expressed as all. <br />
<br />
HOLY wood is another religion we have accepted to be greater then ourselves. Time to Stop. Time to Wake Up. <br />
<br />
In an Equal Money System - we will no longer allow half of us to live in luxury and the other half in hell. Join the solution to create Heaven on Earth for All - where we stop worshiping false idols and start standing equal as life - taken care of ourselves and each other within equal consideration.<br />
<br />
No more Polarity - Equality in the Way. Let's change the story to one that is Best for All. No more some with all and some with none - Give to ALL Equally!<br />

Common Sense. Place yourself in the shoes of another - of anything here in this reality - and ask yourself - would you want to be put into a ring to fight/kill another being for the sake of someone's pleasure and greed? <br />
<br />
If you answered no - then cool, you have taken your first step into standing equal to what is here.<br />
<br />
If you answered yes - or I don't care - then it's time to become self honest. Because to accept and allow cockfighting within this Reality - to accept and allow any sort of abuse, where we are unable to stand in the shoes of another and ask ourselves in self honesty if we could live like that or experience that - and this is including ALL life - ALL beings - ALL expressions that are of this Earth - if you cannot stand equal in their place - then it's suggested we find a solution where any one of us can trade places with any other being here and still live a life of dignity. <br />
<br />
This includes roosters.<br />
<br />
The current reality is that we use these roosters for our own self interest pleasures and greed. We call putting two roosters into a 'ring' so that they will fight until one of them is dead or terribly injured - a sport. To humans this is entertainment. WTF? <br />
<br />
Some advocate that it is 'tradition' to have cockfights - as they have been around for generations. Places in the world still allow cockfights because of this reason. Many have banned the sport - but they still exist. Yet - to justify this 'sport' because it was what was accepted and allowed to happen in the past - is absolutely insane and just goes to show how we are not evolving and learning from our mistakes - but are actually cycling the same patterns and behaviors that allow separation within this world.<br />
<br />
And it is unacceptable. It is because we as humans see ourselves as superior to these beings that we can make them do things that are not in the best interest of them - but we will make some kind of profit off of it. This is dishonest as we are not considering them as life - equal with ourselves. <br />
<br />
If anything - this goes to show how little humanity actually care. What is reveals is that Humanity cares about entertainment and gambling and sport. Humanity does not care if a being suffers - or if a being dies, as long as humans are kept busy and distracted and excited within competition and wanting to win. Humanity has no humanity. <br />
<br />
In an Equal Money System - cockfighting would no longer exist. As we will no longer bet money on chances of winning more of the resource we need to survive - we would no longer allow money to be more valuable then life. <br />
<br />
We would no longer consider the unnecessary death of any life form on this Earth acceptable - because in an Equal Money System - we will be placed in a point to become self honest and ask ourselves - what the fuck have we accepted and allowed? How can we justify our greed - how can we justify our lack of consideration of any life? How have we become so violent in nature within ourselves that we make animals fight to the death for our amusement. Don't we care?<br />
<br />
In an Equal Money System we will realize the absurdity of cockfighting and will have to forgive ourselves, as we will see the truth of what has been allowed to exist. Our greed for more money and to exist within competition of each other - with the desire to be on top as the winner - will no longer be necessary. It will no longer be relevant, as we will live equally with each other - and other life as the animal kingdom and with earth itself. We will wake up to the abuse we have been existing within and will stop our madness. <br />
<br />
An Equal Money System will end cockfighting. And any act that does not support what is best for all and allows abuse within Life.Kristina Salashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13042983577743921210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79246328378726157.post-56662995390732988952012-01-30T01:10:00.000-08:002012-01-30T02:03:53.881-08:002012 Retire at age 25 with Equal Money<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://randykrafft4equality.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/equal-money1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="432" width="576" src="http://randykrafft4equality.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/equal-money1.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Imagine this... <br />
<br />
You live in a world where all beings are supported to live here - all are equal within receiving support to live within the basic requirements for survival. Humanity co - exists within an Equality System - where they are honored as equals and Life within Humanity and Earth moves as One - where all live within the Principle of What is Best for All. <br />
<br />
Now imagine being educated in such a system. You are supported to be education like everyone else - you have access to all information and knowledge and are supported to pursue any interests you would like - in fact, you are support to Express yourself - to Live yourself Fully - with all resources being available to you - because Humanity lives within the Realization that if all are supported to be the best - then the best will be for all. Humanity will grow and expand and express and live - and conflict will cease to exist - or if conflict should arise - it is faced within common sense of finding a solution that is best for all and thus working together, communicating together, handling conflict with become directive effective movement and action. <br />
<br />
Now realizing that within this equality system - there are still practical physical 'jobs' that are required to be done. Such as removing our waste - things within the labor fields. Cleaning the streets - supporting the community of humanity and obviously this will take humans to do. So imagine having only to work 4 years within a labor system that supports not only you but all the 'yous' that are here as humans. Imagine - you can work labor for the enjoyment of supporting all equally, including yourself, but you are not forced to do it for the rest of your life because you require a resource to support you - such as money. You give just 4 years of your life to a labor force that works on 'keeping things moving/working' - and then you are free to express and learn and travel - or anything you would like to do. As you are free within being supported to live and thus life is your's to live. Imagine only 'having' to work 4 years out of your whole life - and then you are able to do whatever you want. You can choose to continue to work - if that is something you enjoy - but it is no longer required. <br />
<br />
Imagine - working 4 years within a labor system and completing it by the time you are 25. What would you do with yourself then? Who would you be in such a system - where you are supported to live equally with all - where you don't have to fear your survival - but are allowed and supported to express yourself as life. <br />
<br />
What would you do? Where would you go? Who would you be? Can we even imagine a world such as this? I know I can - yet I also know - being a product of this current economic system where I have already worked for 12 years because I require money to Live - I don't know yet what I would decide to do. But I know I would be grateful. And I know I would be willing to give of myself to support the whole with doing labor that is required for all.<br />
<br />
Just imagine such a world. Imagine what possibilities exist within and Equal Money System. You can retire at the age of 25. You can decide to live the rest of your life doing... that which you decide to do. <br />
<br />
This is another reason why I support an Equal Money System. Because it supports the real freedom of Man - and supports man to finally become Man(be)kind. It is giving to each other what we would like to receive. It is joy for all. It is life for all. It is free for all. It is Heaven on Earth. <br />
<br />
I am 1 vote for World Equality through an Equal Money System - I am 1 Vote for the retirement age to be 25!<br />

Equal Money FAQLooking at this within it's most basic point - as it currently exists. There are human beings who go to school for years and years and pay outrageous amount of money to be educated within our current Law System. So in this - there are those that are specifically trained to trial cases within court. There is even a 'head honcho' type of person we call the judge that sits in a mighty chair that is the ultimate decider of what happens to cases within court. This current system is so strategically complicated that, as I've said takes years to be educated within - and the majority of us don't now squat about the law/court system. <br />
<br />

In an Equal Money System - All will be Equal. Equal within living support as money - equal within education - equal within being a part of the whole of Humanity that lives within/as the Principle of What is Best for All. So wouldn't it be common sense that all shall have a say in how the system operates - how the system moves. If a System is created that Supports and is Best for All - then All are included in the Equation to see/be educated/move within what happens within the System. And thus - all will be transparent. All will have a right to Vote - all will have a say in what the system is and how it can function within the principle of what is best for all. Thus - the court system/law system will be no different. All will have access to equal information as everyone else and thus all will have a deciding factor in how things proceed - this including court cases. <br />
<br />
The specifics and how this will exactly funtion will become more clear as more participate wtihin creating such a system - but for now the basic is understood. An Equal Money system IS what is Best for All - and All will be Equal within the System. Meaning - no one will have 'special jobs' that pay more then another - no one will have 'special positions' - that are seen to be 'more then' another position. No one will be separated within such a system and so All will agree through a Democratic Process to decide in fact what is Best for All. Court Cases included. <br />

Equal Money FAQCurrently we live in a reality where a few of the people own 99% of the wealth in this world. And the rest of us own 1% of the wealth. This seems unreasonable and unacceptable - obviously because it is. <br />
<br />
However - we could say that those of us in the 'middle class' or those that are currently comfortable within the current economic system, like ones with a home, a job, healthcare, a car, anyone that has money to support themselves within this world - are also the elite. As we also have the elite access to support ourselves in this world - where millions of people still do not. Drinking water could be considered to be elite - as it is not offered to all equally. <br />
<br />
So - what will happen to the elite in an Equal Money System. The current elite in this world - will be forgiven. As all will be forgiven for what has been accepted and allowed and will be considered equal to everyone else in their requirement to support themselves thus will have an equal amount of money to everyone else in this world to do just that. <br />
<br />
Equal Money is not about revenge - or blaming or punishment. It is about Honoring ALL equally and thus will be established as such. The elite are humans too - granted they have made decisions based on not what is Best for all - therefore in an Equal Money system - they will be forgiven, as we all will be forgiven for what we have allowed and participated in this world that allows the elite to be in the position that they are in. Because we have not questions their position or our position or what this world currently represents and exists as - we all will forgive ourselves and eachother for accepting such an unequal system. <br />
<br />
We will start over. Join the equalmoney.org discussions and become part of the solutions. Creating such a system will take all to get over their egos and anger and learn how to forgive, ourselves and each other. <br />

The question would then be would Apple or RIM - as a company that currently exist, exist still in an Equal Money System? Companies as such will not be in competition with each other to sell the most products - they will work together to create a means of communication and interaction with each other that supports All. I guess we could ask in self honesty - would it matter who will make our cell phones in an Equal Money System? - So long as All life is once and for all being supported and this world system starts creating and producing products that support this principle of what is best for all - then it does not matter who is making what, but that All are Working together Equal and One to create a Life of Worth for All - where we start Living and Enjoying each other and All - as Life should be.Kristina Salashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13042983577743921210noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79246328378726157.post-44408913736436648302011-11-27T20:54:00.001-08:002011-11-27T21:13:42.967-08:00No More Corruption with Equal MoneyNo more Corruption with Equal Money.
This is Self Explanatory.
Why are people corrupted? Because they either want something they don't have or they are offered something in return for a favor. Commonly known as a dishonest act - throwing 'morals' out the window for profit or gains.
This exists in our World. Why? Because it's based on profit. Money is the ruling hand - thus the more you have the better off you are, which inevitable leads to people being 'corruptible'.
Corruption could never exist in an Equal Money System - as Profit will not be of value. Life will not be based on Money - Money will not be the deciding factor of what kind of experience you have Here on Earth. You will be honored Equally as All with Life and thus will be given Money as a resource to Support yourself within this World.
Imagine - if you were given, from the time you are born until the time that you die, and equal amount of money as everyone else on earth so that you could provide for yourself and live in dignity - would you be corruptible? Could someone offer you something that you would believe you 'have to have' or that you don't already have.
Corruption is based on desires which stems from fear. If we are no longer living in fear we would not be so quick to be corrupted as means to fulfill a desire; acting out of fear. We would no longer fear our survival and thus no longer be tempted to hold onto more because we fear losing what we have.
Corruption always comes with a lack of principles - a disregard of/for Life. Corruption is based on Self Interest as we are only looking out for ourselves - I mean how else could one be corrupted?
People, in whatever position they are in the world, be it Politicians, World Leaders, Governments, Companies, etc, would no longer be able to be 'bought'. In an Equal Money System we remove Profit as the Main Goal and thus we would no longer care to have more - we would be satisfied that we are supported in Life and thus move towards Living within Principles that are based on what is Best for All.
Corruption is masked as competition. One in Competing with Neighbors to have more, be more, own more, have a more secure place in this brutal system. We lack true compassion and empathy - it's about 'me, me, me'.
In an Equal Money System we will no longer compete for our survival, and thus the opportunity to be corrupted/bought would cease to exist.
These are just a few points on how there will be No More Corruption within an Equal Money System. It's common sense - Corruption = Living without Principles and the only Principle we will Live as in an Equal Money System is the Principle of what is Best for All. We will look out for each other. We will not be so quick to harm each other for our own gain. Equal Money will end corruption and perhaps then we will learn how to trust each other and ourselves again.
