We need to get on brainstorming about what we want after the dust has settled. It's up to everyone to get their two cents in on this cause it will effect everyone. But please be as detailed as possible, i plan to repost this around( Help would be great ) and try to build up a large document to be continually added to as ideas rise and others decide to add. It really is time to start this prosess after all we have a lot of ideas :D
If there is already a post for this could i get a link?
A. What kind of monetary system do we want? Barter? Gold standerd?
B. What kind of Government do we want? Small ( hopefully ) big? Local?
C. What freedoms are we born with? All.
D. What will do with the land? Make it purchaceable? Preserve? Leave it to states?
E. What kind of opprotunities do you want?
F. What is your Perfect World?
Please add questions as you see needed. Thanks, remember we all have dreams. Lets work to create a society that lets any dream bloom to be fruitful.
G. Further comments, ideas, conserns, anything.
I suggest the systems that rte already in place such as state governments. They are more easily brought up to date. Current politicians would be voted out and new volunteer legislators would be voted in. The spending of state budgets would be done by voter referendum ONLY. The political leader would have no power over money and thus temptation. The banking system, is fine if it owned by the public. The public banks would maintain the money supply in each state.by NEVER tightening. Just lend for fee only no interest loans. The federal government? What a bloody mess. Do we really need it? The only thing they do is repress us and start wars. We pay for over 250,000 assorted intelligence agents. You have to be kidding me. What on earth do they do? Five football stadiums worth of smart guys sneaking around. What?!
Let's get our jobs back.
Buy American. If you aren't sure - ask. Also look all over the packaging for "Made in __" Packaging may say "Made in America" but also have another tag that indicate that it was also made in another country.
Here is a list of the top outsourcing companies: http://www.iaop.org/content/23/152/1197/ If you deal with the American companies - stop and find another vendor.
E-Mail:
Write one e-mail to your elected officials telling them you are unhappy with the job they are doing. You can find their addresses here: http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml
Send one e-mail to the mayor of your town stating you do not want your taxpayer dollars to be given companies, pro-sporting facilities, etc. while classrooms are underfunded and overcrowded.
Send one e-mail to the "Letter to the Editor" telling how fed up you are with they way politics and your taxpayer dollars are being handled.
When you contact customer service and someone with an accent answers ask if they are in America. If not, this person is working while some unemployed American is out of work Also, do you really want to give personal information to someone living in another country?
Take this entire post and e-mail it to friends and ask them to help and to e-mail it to their friends.
Thank you,
You have just helped change America
gold standard is impossible. we need to simply end the ephemeral money system- end all derivatives, end all bubbles, end all subsidies...
the best government is very small but that can only happen after the problems are solved.
these kinds of questions are best run and asked and organized and answered on a wiki. this forum will just lose your conversation in scrawl and make it subject to trolling.

Here's my idea for retooling and rehabilitating what we have now so that it can get back on the evolutionary path toward a perfect world:
