I personaly try to aproach every day in the most positive manner I try to find good in everything I do even tho I may not like doing it - Its my JOB and if at all posible I try to do the best I can with what I can (do things right or dont do them at all) ading to that most the time when I see people do things half-ass they ususaly have to do them again so why not do it right the first time.

Just be careful who you work for. When you work for another's goals they become your own.

Your "visions" of gloom without money are based on fear, so we cannot totally effectively communicate about this.
I know one thing. Something has got to give.
We might as well dump the whole stinking system and start over in the trees rather than become extinct by the actions of the governments that print your beloved money.
When it comes to political and economic theory you are absolutely clueless.

I sent money to Gillette to help her pay for her car repair bill.
I doubt you wanted sex when you got that bean bag thing for 40oz.'s apartment.

well, when you think about what is often exchanged on the lot, direct barter makes sense from a black-market perspective - there is no money whose whereabouts need explanation to the tax-man, and everybody gets what they need. for larger scale economies, though, money is definitely more efficient than direct barter (although i'd argue that have a community 'membership' that would entitle you to a fair share of the produce of that community would be even more efficient)

The problem with the barter system is what you have may not be what someone else wants who has what you need. It used to work in small communities where each person needed each other's specialized goods and services. That isn't the case today, where technology (especially the internet) makes a community a lot less concrete of a idea.

When it comes to hired work, I have a very strong work ethic. I spent a lot of time around my grandfather, who is like a second father to me. He was born in 1912, and all his life had a fairly low income. Growing up in the depression, he got very used to working very hard. He also had a very strong set of morals. As a result, he beleived very strongly that unless you worked very hard and honestly, you weren't really working at all. In his line of work, this was very beneficial to him (he was a mechanic and a machinist. Two jobs, both very suited to his work ethic). He always told me about how he tried to work hard and honestly, and about how he was always looking for ways to improve the way that he worked or how the machines worked.
Naturally, since I looked up to him, I adopted (to an extent) the same attitude. When I'm on the clock, I feel very guilty unless I'm working hard and working efficiently. I think the only right thing to do is to work hard and to try and work in the most effective way possible. So much so that I feel bad if I'm doing anything otherwise, as if I don't deserve the job if I don't work as well as that. I'm like that even when doing unpleasant work for minimum wage.
Come to think of it, that anecdote would be a great thing to mention during a job interview, if I get the chance.
