I think that a world which values money over all things is just a terrible place. That's the world we live in. If you are unable to work for whatever reason, people look down on you like you're worthless. It's pathetic. Human life is not valued on that of the all mighty dollar. People are valuable for things that don't earn money. It makes me sick.

And for what? Money. And what is money. A representation of gold in a building somewhere. And if tomorrow society collapsed, what is gold worth? Can you eat it? No. Can you drink it? No. Can you build it into a shelter? Not without a hell of a lot of it. What is the value of gold? Oh, it's pretty. Wow. Stupid.

I hate the dollar society. I hate the idea that we have to sit at some job all day away from our families. I spend more time with my job than my family. I hate that. My grandfather was a farmer and then he made his land into sub-divisions. He worked his whole life within walking distance of his house, his wife, his kids. And all of them helped and worked together.

So yeah, I hear you.
