Look at the tag on your shirt. Where was it made? Think about the conditions underwhich the person who made your shirt likely works. The truth is that that person is your slave and you are someonelse's slave. Money blinds us from this reality. Until we fight for the rights of all of humanity we will continue to be a part of problems that OWS is protesting. By endorsing capitalism we enable slavery. The solution is the dissolution of capitalism.
Technology is the impetus for the dawning of the new era. For the first time all of humanity can instantaneously communicate on a global scale. We can control our birth rate with the use of safe effective birth control. We have the resources to feed and house the world’s population. Most all human suffering is manmade or worsened by greed and lack of empathy. Technology has also given us the ability choose our destiny. We can continue the current trajectory: depletion of resources, growing inequalities and war. Or, we can choose a new way.
The path to enlightenment, equality, and sustenance is attainable with a united movement. Part of that movement is time bank. Time bank is a network of humanity. Organized on line. Completely transparent. All inclusive. Hour in. Hour out. That’s it. No person’s hour is more or less valuable than another.
A worldwide time bank can be started now. With enough participation it can catalyze the transition from the current corrupt monetary system to a society where money is irrelevant and each person is valued. Fear and greed will paralyze this movement. Hope and imagination can propel it.

Although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

if you want to support a Presidential Candidate – myself – at AmericansElect.org in support of the above bank-focused platform.
I like your idea as a step toward a society where monetary banking is no longer needed. I'll vote for you if you start a time bank in your town.
It won't happen as a reality unless you join with the 10 other people, along with 100,000 more, in the above 2nd site listed. Thank for your support of the strategy, not the man.
You said, "A worldwide time bank can be started now"
What does that even mean?
Some vague ethereal utopian notion of Society??
Sounds like something you say after smoking pot for hours..."Yea, man...let's create ourselves a time bank man!"
Thank you for your comment. No system is perfect but time bank can be a significant improvement. All ethereal ideas are vague by nature. Utopia IS what we should strive for. I am suggesting a transitionary tool that can take us from the current system of absolute corruption to one where all of humanity has intrinsic value. If smoking pot encourages humanitarian based thought then pass the pipe. THINK BIG!

time bank
No, not a utopia, but a different way of doing things because it's clear that what we're doing is not working. We need to think outside the box and question everything we think we know. Let's attempt to try something else. See these videos for more ideas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIMy0QBSQWo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNRVRbpJMP0
