Hmmm... while generalizations like this make me unhappy too, it's because I've seen it often to be true. Not all, to be sure, but it is h-a-r-d to get by here "outside the money system" - even in Hawaii, where food drops off the trees, people are getting food stamps and growing w**d as a cash crop.
So, mIEKAL, how did you and yours get by in our money-fetishistic society?
creativity, doing without, dumpster-diving, potlatch culture, sharing cars, living in a rural area that is the poorest area in the state, gardens & food forests everywhere, no financing from banks, & endless skills that are self perpetuating when you work individually to realize collective goals. & of course the major resource is having the TIME free from work obligations to pursue such a life. it helps too that the only place to spend money in this little town is a pop machine. mIEKAL
