We are reliant upon this banking system for the supply of almost all our means of exchange. In Britain today, 97% of the money stock is created by this private banking system as a debt, while only 3% is created by the government debt-free. As we explain on this website, that is both a technical absurdity and a democratic offence.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">As a consequence of virtually all our money coming into existence as a debt, we see the indebtedness of people, families and countries growing daily. Money Reformers believe the present debt-based system perpetrates debt slavery, and this is destructive of society, the environment and the planet. Money Reformers believe this debt-based money supply is the big issue which governs all the issues.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">Money Reformers advocate that the virtual Monopoly of Money Creation must be removed from the private banking system and we work to establish a publicly-created supply of debt-free money, created on behalf of the people, by a public body. This money should be spent, not lent, into society on the basis of proven need. This will gradually reduce the overall burden of debt in society, break reliance upon the private banking system for the supply of money, open potential for change, and empower people democratically. The Money Reformers' proposal is not a left-wing, or right-wing idea. It's just good sense!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">(taken from www.prosperityuk.com)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">poncenberry</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7872943441111162577-7974816568989564837?l=indiabuynothing.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Indiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02530556649237613761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872943441111162577.post-86334033887714009642010-11-21T17:03:00.000+05:302006-12-05T19:51:26.432+05:30--------------------------------<br /><br />Things to do instead of shopping on November 24th, Buy Nothing Day:<br /><br /><br />- Jump<br />- Sing<br />- Make Love<br />- Learn how to swim<br />- Have a thumb fight<br />- Drink free water<br />- Stand on your head<br />- Juggle!<br />- Jiggle!<br />- Jungle dance!<br />- Walk!<br />- Run!<br />- Sit!<br />- Stand!<br />- Smile ;-)<br />- Look @ the sky!<br />- Count The stars , if its day just one!!<br />- Breathe<br />- Hold your nose<br />- Open your eyes<br />- Close your eyes!<br />- now the ears<br />- now count the years, months, moments you remember perfectly!!!!<br />- Climb a tree!<br />- Dig a tunnel to the centre of the earth [Get friends & family to help you - coz u need help!!]<br />- Hug a Tree!<br />- Smell the fresh air<br />- Smell the polluted air!<br />- Trace your family tree..
