    No i just assumed incorrectly

    A truly clever person would have asked a question

    Or am I assuming again

    As for

    Wellington airport , , . .

    Why . . .oh why . . Would I be talking about a windmill in wellington airport which isnt even called airport 1

    It may have a landing strip called landing strip 1
    Which may unusually may have a windmill . . . Bit dangerous i would assume

    Sharp 7 will be on soon

    He has asked the question. Do you plan on answering it?

    I think a truly clever person would use the english language to most efficiently convey the information that the desire to convey.

    Or to ask another question, what purpose does ambiguity serve?

    We will have arrived at a similar answer through vastly different thought processes, of that I am sure.

    So, the alternative being deprived of what the world has to offer by a bank isn't blackmail?

    True. Of course you can measure the value of one's work and output . Longevity, quality, application, looks etc... I know eh, people will have to show some form of social responsibility. The libertarians and right wing will be pissed.

    Depends on what you mean by answer, I don't think your answer of a moneyless system is any good. But I do understand what that answer entails, and how you have come to it.

    No, that's just trading. I don't believe there was any mention of the 'bankers' blockading the island to prevent other trade routes?

    Those are judgment values, they are not universally comparable. There is no way to say that the work a gardener does equates to the production of say, a TV.

    They will have to show social responsibility for it to work, if they don't then it simply does not work; in such a system not working is both an option for any individual, and the system as a whole. Lets not overlook just how open to abuse that is as well; those who wish it to fail can literally just take an all expenses paid holiday to achieve that goal.

    No, you found other's who said the same thing you did. You have not posted where that original information came from. That is the important bit, the facts behind a story, not how often the story is told. Snopes for example, is full of stories which have been told time and time again, to the point they are regarded as common knowledge, but are factually inaccurate.

    Is it "airport 1" or "airstrip one" I get heathrow and nations of 1984 respectively when googling them.

    You may have thought you were being a smart arse by posting a witty ambiguity, but it serves no practical purpose, especially if it is too obscure to be obvious. I'd have to say gadget is right on this one, your english needs a lot of work.

    No it is still a central govt, just one that allows input from all voters on all votable issues.

    Yes keep the same govt.

    I have no argument with the production side of what has been said all along. Money is not something I believe needs addressing, we will simply leave it behind when all are wealthy enough to just say, nah don't worry about paying for that, I got you covered.

    Non debt based money is something that would be fairly central to any such emergent community anyway.

    I have no idea of what you mean by windmill utopia or why buying a diary is relevant.

    I do not believe that god gave me anything so am unsure what I should be using, and what I should be using it for.

    I fail to see the relevance of 7 sharp.

    You still have not addressed why the repetition of a story is valid reason to believe it.

    No, it's blackmail. Banks are banks.

    They are comparable because I say so. Just like someone says that govt bonds have value. If you need a gardener and/or a tv, if one is available, then there is no problem, otherwise, order one. Yes it the system is open to abuse. No worries on the financial front, because we can just print more money, or at the very least revalue the price of hammers... and quite possibly throw the fucker in jail for economic terrorism on his return... or cancel his credit card... or or or or or or or whatever the socially responsible thing to about it is. So many answers.

    It entails the removal of money, and dispersal of good/services to citizens as they determine their needs to be. The citizens also determine whether and how assets are claimed from individuals who are not using them.

    It is not blackmail because there is no coercion, banks offered the service, and the people chose to take it. They were free to refuse it.

    Yet the comparison you would make, is not one I would share, or others of society would share; I'd be adamant my efforts were equal to my acquisitions. Who are you to tell me different?

    To do what with? Printed currency has no value in a moneyless society, the value of hammers is irrelevant when citizens can take them at will. How will you determine who is an economic terrorist and who is just having a holiday? Why would canceling a credit card do anything when the society does not use money anyway? (I'm talking about a holiday within NZ here).
