Ban exchange and competition on earth=food, fire= warmth and shelter, air=air, and water=water. Our 4 physical needs. ((note when I say exchange that also takes into account the exchange of the common commodity -money) When a thing has a price,it is inherent that it is scarce at some level, and that is where the root of our problems lie, EXCHANGE. The root is that land lords cause land to be scarce and then exchange for the use of it. WE WILL not DIE FROM LACK OF HAIRCUTS AND SOFAS AND CARS! Lifes physical needs need to be shared, need to be FREECYCLED!? love, light and circle, Frank
