I wonder what it would be like to live in a country without tangible money. As in say dollar bills or coins. Would it be better if we had no money, only the credits youre given for being a productive citizen? What would life be like where you didnt have to be born into a privileged family in order to go to an Ivy League college? What if education was free, all of it, from pre-school to a doctorates degree? Would it be so bad if we didnt have to fight and haggle and leap through pointless hoop after hoop, just to get a job? What if there was one place you had to go to get a job? We could call it the employment agency, only instead of going there whenever you want; you have to come in only when you turn 18 for your initial job, unless for some other reason your job doesnt work out. No interview, no nothing, you just pick your job and try it out. If you like the job and the supervisor says you're doing okay at the job you can keep it and that will be your job. If you don't like the job just go back to the agency and get a new one. Everyone would get exactly what they need, the extra things you would have to use the credits you would be granted for doing your job, how much you got would be based on how well you do your job, how well you progress through the levels of each job and other such rewarding accomplishments you may happen to do.
Healthcare, food, housing, utilities, clothing, entertainment, education, religious events, hygiene, stress relievers, anything you can think of that the individual human being needs to be a healthy, productive member of society, can and should be free, everyone should get exactly equal opportunity. If he likes to read make him a librarian or a comic book store operator, if shes smart make her a scientist or a teacher. Whatever he or she chooses to do, you just sign up and give it a try, free. There can even be jobs where a persons job is to be a group of peoples, technically speaking, watch dog. Kind of a lifetime guidance counselor, they do everything from help people find the right school system, to pick the right classes, to pick the right job for them based on the things theyve talked about together. Basically jobs to help people make the right choices from the get go instead of forcing everyone to stumble blindly through the dark to find the right direction.
I once heard a saying that said something to the effect of; "You cant learn something new unless you make mistakes." But my question is why do I have to make the mistake to learn from it?[/FONT]
