Certainly. Now if only I can find a communist to give it to me
Seriously though, I'll definitely check it out.

Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
Let's see, what's great.....what about working from home and spending time with your family? What about spending 6/7/8....hours of your day in front of one logical monitor doing something that benefits thousands of people who are willing to exchange the products of their minds for the product of yours? what about the choice to not own a television and spending the rest of your day with your family and friends? What about the choice to not be a slave to a state whose actions in part lead to the collapse of the WTC? What about sleeping soundly? What about having the resources and the choice to learn about the foods you eat? Of course, these are just few of the wonderful products of freedom and of the men who hold their own happiness as their highest moral standard.
Love you lots Eva, but it might be time to check your premises.
My dearest! you listed all things I already practise, but how many people you know who do the same, and actually can afford to do the same? I am a lucky bastard!!!! I don't know personally anyone really who can afford to live as I do. Of course, I did my choices, they costed me and still cost me to give up a lot of things that the average people wouldn't give up, but I swear God that there is also a great amount of luck and lucky chances that drove me to achieve this. Please, don't tell me now that anyone is free to do so, because this is not realistic, otherwise we must agree that the majority of the people are suicide masochists, and I would tell you that in fact I consider all this system suicide and masochist.... but if so, the point is... does the system give all the people the tools and the chance to realize how suicide and masochist this all is???

Eva,
One must simply ask the question, "what makes people suicidal and masochistic" to arrive at the answers to your questions. The "system" is teaching people sacrifice their tools, their chances, their lives, their happiness, to their neighbors, their bosses, their states. And the people you speak of sanction it. It is the culture of sacrifice that I attack, and the culture of achievement that I defend.

you seem to be describing capitalism.
today we work towards a goal- a company or corporation's goal. my labor is insignificant, i can do mediocre labor half heartedly and excel.
if you live in a society where labor is valued, you tend to do your part. capitalism benefits the individual, whatever his output, whereas a collectivist society benefits the whole, which includes most of the population. when you go to work knowing your labor will have a direct impact on how the society functions, a society that values you, your motivation changes. you move from selfish thought to an idea of helping others.....a much stronger motivator. this, with a resource pool that benefits all, produces a society much more in line with human nature.
Ah, to get all long-winded about philosophical and existencial topics... *drifts off into reminiscence*
Doubt you'll get a response, commy. Havent seen ffg around too much lately.
Peace
Dan
