a curencyless society is a failed society. the only way there could be a complete lack of currency  is a society  that is a complete and self sufiecent comunist country. great idea on paper but no so much in practice.

why not stop trying to get rid of the curency system, and work on improving it?

There is always something that replaces currency when there is none. Look at the early US. Almost no one had money, and farmers used barter and trade, and often repaid people with favors. Friends would go and pay your tab at the store. But all of this is - PAY...currency isn't always pertaining to money...of course, the barter system didn't last too long now, did it...

We will always have to give something to get something, in the long run. Just like nature, something has to give. While it's not organic, our system of trade as humans gets us somewhere, farther than living as hunter-gatherer societies.

If you don't like it, I suggest moving to a place that is more to your liking, because as a young country - the US isn't going to change. Not in a thousand years. :frown:

Living without trade, and being self-reliant and self-sustainable, quite simply sucks ass. You can't make modern items without significant amounts of resources. If you had to create every item it takes to make a desk (involving metals and other fabricated parts), you'd be dead before you finished the desk. That's why we are where we are today - industry. I mean, most people had to spend forever making thread to make clothes. Now we just go buy things cheap if we're poor or don't care about labels from Walmart or Target. Living this way is making the US a 3rd world country, and fast. Hopefully our crash won't be too bad, and we can see money flowing back into the US from the US consumer in the future after the economy dies and people realize that capitalism needs to draw the line at making profits from deals that involve other countries. Fuck international commerce. Guess what? If no one was allowed to trade with other countries or buy from other countries, we'd eventually get cheap products made HERE. Imagine that.

Sorry about my rant...

Don't worry about feeling like you're the only one in a world full of people who are connected to each other and their appliances/gadgets/electronics. This is just an image that advertisers like to convey to make you think that you NEED to start being like everyone else. The fact of the matter is, most people I know online are only on irc or on forums, and they feel the same way you do.

Could you pay your store tab with goats?
