Reply #57: No, my original question was would it be easier to start over with

a different system. It was based on the premise that the current system is crashing and I don't beleive they can stop it - considering all the "propping up" they've been doing.

So if the money system we have no dissolves, how could we start it over. Bartering is a form of currency - trade you some tomatoes for some of eggs....

One thing it would do is unlock the stranglehold these corporations and lobbyists have on "our" representatives - and hopefully a population pissed off enough to put the right people in office and the right laws/rules in place to make sure this doesn't keep happening every decade or so like it has been.

Do you honestly think those on fixed incomes will be able to survive if the the hyper-inflation kicks in like so many are talking about? Not with dollars they won't. So what are the alternatives? If we have a chance to start over without all the corruption and pollution of the big money interests, how do we do it better?

I went back and re-read what I wrote several times now - I can't understand why you thought I was being so heartless and saying "just throw them all to the wolves". I felt like I'd wandered into GD-P by mistake.
