don't you mean conservative Rethuglicans who can't get along with their neighbors....unless of course they can get their own way. Otherwise it's, "Hmmph! I'm going home, and I'm taking my toys (translation=billions) with me.

Those that profit from war will die out , in a resource based economy , and trouble us no more . There will still be control freaks , for a while , we will have to watch them closely , true . They will be , de incentive-ised . They will loose momentum . It is hard to collect power when it is all equal .

I do not know what liberals YOU hang out with , but the ones i know and love , the only power THEY and i are interested in , is the power to have fun .... which is optional in all cases .

Exactly. People gain power over others by virtue that they have something you need; money, resources, freedom.
It's difficult to put 10 million tons of steel in your pocket and go shopping, so people use money as a proxy for the resources they own. In the Venus Project we not only get rid of money, but we share ownership of resources with every other human.
Imagine a person with a glass of water, saying to a second person "you want some of this, you'll have to do something for me". Now imagine how powerless that statement would be if the second person was standing next to a large lake of fresh water. He would simply say, "No thank you, I have plenty".

One cannot be a good liberal and harbor greed. It's an oxymoron.

Effing racist! Lot's of muslims get along great with their neighbors! Your comment is generalized, bigoted and with out concern for who you insult with it... I challenge you who hate muslims to go live in Northern India for a while, the local muslim will just shake their heads and laugh at you, its their neighbors that will be garroting you in a dark alley for sharing such thoughts.

what i stated is fact sorry you cant handle the truth. i never said all muslims, i even have muslim friends. but if youre unwilling to look at history past and present i cant help you. look at all the worlds conflicts, google them if you like and you will see most of the worlds conflicts are due to muslims who cant get along with their neighbors. pointing out reality isnt racist my apologetic friend. any christian/catholic bashers on current ever get accused of racism? i think not
