I'm not even going to bother saying we need change if you all think this current system is so wonderful, why would you want change.

Watch this video

This is the future.

This is what is going to happen in America, I'm sure to some extent in Canada as well but it won't be as severe as in America.

I'll talk economics if you disagree with me.

I believe Chomsky is the one who has pointed out that a conspiracy isn't required: the powers that be currently make their moves in the open, for all to see, and there isn't enough weight of complaint from the masses to make a significant difference in their plans.

That's right...

The so called "Open Conspiracy" theory....

The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!

We haven't really changed much as a society, our views may have become slightly more liberal but our general concept of how society should be ran hasn't changed much.

So we started off in tribes and we had tribal leaders, we then went on to religion and we had religious leaders, we then went on to monarchies and we had Kings and Queens, we are now in democracies where we have political leaders whom seem to becoming less relevant as we move into this new world of economics where it seems economic leaders hold more power.

All that has changed over time is how society chooses the leaders that end up robbing us of our wealth, take us to war and limit our freedoms. We haven't got past this concept of centralization of power, we still think a small group of people can engineer a society that will work for everyone, it is not possible.

We need a new way of thinking of how we should go about solving the problems that lay before us.

We spend billions on jails and policing in an attempt to lower drug use and crime yet poverty is the number one cause behind drug abuse and crime and yet we only spend a fraction of what we spend on enforcement on lowering poverty. Maybe we should end poverty in order to lower drug use and crime.

I think I finally get this whole Christian thing where God judges you when you die, in a way God is this global consciousness we share, we as generations always judge the generation that preceded us, we judge how they lived after they are gone. Future generations will judged us by how we lived, God does judge us when we die.

You want to overhaul society quickly ? Invent a new form of money that isn`t compatible with the current form. If it catches on, today`s money will be worthless. ;)

Be prepared for a lot of violence along the way, though.

Today's money is practically worthless because you can print more anytime, and you sell that as shares in the country lets say. Money is created out of thin air.

No, you are conflating the concept of money with tangible currency...they are not the same.

If we use money then I don't think we should force people to use a certain type of it. In the past we let the markets choose what money is and we gravitated to gold and silver, we should let the markets chose what money is.

And we are headed towards a lot of violence anyways, just wait till the American bond market collapses.

Then it should be easier to create a new form of money.

The new form is already here, a good deal of us use a debit or credit card. No more need for a physical printed dollar. The electronic dollar or possibly `credit`, already rules a good deal of the planet.

Maybe you should be asking that question to the Federal Reserve. They know how to do it.

It isn't just central banks who can create dollars out of nothing, commercial banks can too threw fractional reserve banking.

Your new maple_leaf_money should be electronic, not some ancient trading system, like metals or calves.

The existing money has a lot of built-in problems. If maple-leaf-bucks are too succeed, they`ll need to tackle those.

I don't know why you call em maple leaf bucks, you are the one who said I should develop a new form of money. I'm sure having a more honest money system that isn't backed by debt would be better then our current system but I don't believe a new form of money will solve things like poverty.

Name it after yourself ! Don`t be shy. Maybe I`ll develop some ideas around Hardner bucks.

Canada comes to Georgia. Great news for Canada! Soon our banks and business will get an access to the Georgian market. Previously the Netherlands were playing the leading role in Georgia’s economy, especially in the banking sector, because they were working on favorable terms provided by Saakashvili’s wife, but now they are giving up their positions to their Canadian counterparts. Thanks to the new minister of economic development of Georgia Kobaliya. She is lobbying Canada’s interests. It means that she is giving us the priority-oriented access to the most valuable state owned objects, which are being put up for a sale on a mass basis. It is said that the new minister and president’s wife are squabbling for the spheres of influence in Georgia’s economy. But for now their confrontation consists of the removal of the authorities from both sides. Well, it can’t be excluded that later two wicked girls will use illegal methods, like some criminal groups or even the help of the Islamist terrorists, who feels at Georgia like at home.
