No more Little pieces of paper...

Jim wrote this really brilliant POST called "Little pieces of Paper" And I have been thinking for a while about creating a community where the concept of MONEY doesn't exists...
Everything will be returning of favours... BARTER in a way;

Think of it... a world where what you have is not important.. BUT what you can do is.
Then I know how much more we'll value everyone around us.

All those workers.. who are now cast away as LOW CLASS and CHEAP coz they get in to our drains and clean our SHIT, will be recognised for their true value.

I have had enough of having everything compartmentalised and more so labelled as Upper class, upper middle class, middle class, lower middle class, and low class... Don't you agree that IT IS BECAUSE of those silly papers... How stupid and unintelligent are we to let THIS HAPPEN to us and have some one constantly estimate how much we have and what our buying power is.

Well it would be great if we were known by our giving power and not our buying power.:-)

I love the idea! but i think often money is just the tip of the iceberg with all our inter relational struggles. The need to control our own lives, the need to feel safe, the need to feel grounded the list is endless but all that is expressed with how we handle money...wonder what effect the barter system would have on all that?
