The top one percent do not spend enough money to keep our economy going.What will happen to us when the top one percent earn 98 percent of all the income?In the good old US of A?I saw a headline in the newspaper that said 2 out of 3 americans are thinking the USA economy will improve.All I could think was how little do they know?When I was growing up my mom and dad had all the money.But they cared about what happened to me.This one percent does not care about the rest of us.triffid

I hope Greece drops the euro and goes back to what they had.It would be a lesson to the central banks.We need a coin that a small group of men cannot hoard.Its not in my best interest to not have money to spend.I need money too.I think we should go with something like e-coin.
I posted a link to it twice and I think the money should be backed by food.Grain if you want.Beef if you want.




I found something new(to me) today.Its rather big I think. http://www.instructables.com/id/SODA-CAN-HYDROGEN-GENERATOR/
They use a liquid metal gallium alloy to treat the surface of aluminum metal so an oxide does not form and the water attacks the aluminum to form hydrogen gas and alumina.

Uh, good idea, but someone will always try and get around that.  Human nature and organized crime.   I wish it weren't so.

I need money too.

no. you do not. you want money... you are confusing wants with needs. there isn't a single form of life on this planet that "needs" money. it is not a necessity to survival.
