When it comes to peace, how would you describe yourself?

I am a born activist

What do you believe are the 'burning issues' today?

War, Hunger, Poverty, Education, Our Planet, Violence, Inflation, Human Rights, Our Shrinking Freedom

So what is it?

MIND CONTROL

What must we overcome to achieve peace?

Greed

More

If greed was taken out of the picture there would be no war, hunger, poverty, education issues (either lack of improper education), violence, inflation, human rights issues, shrinking freedom and mind control. There would be more trust, good ethics, altruism and good will towards each other without hidden agendas or alterior motives.

Of course money is the a major factor behind all these problems. It is in short supply and so causes people to lower their standards and morals often times in the getting of what is left. I have recently been researching open money concepts like 'LETS' (Local Exchange Trading Systems) where we create our own currency locality by locality. In such a system we can find better ethics and trust because members on a smaller scale cannot get away with dishonest or greedy tactics to 'make a buck' as is prevalent in the current government offered money systems.

I cannot explain it good enough here so I will point you to some sources:

Can we change the world?

Definitely

More about me

I am a social activist working out of my home on my computer. I am hoping to broaden that and share more with the community I live in. I have wondered how I could do that for some time now. I have health issues in an emotional/psychological way so it is awkward for me to get out there and get things going with the community. I can do it, have done it but it is increasingly difficult. I am dealing with after-effects of pharmaceuticals, self-induced hard drugs and alcohol from the past. I am clean now off of all the above but the side effects thereof persist from some key members of my family. Without getting too negative I will just say that the biggest issue is that my ex-wife makes seeing or even talking to my daughter difficult. Therefore I struggle to stay positive. My actvism work gets me out of myself and into helping others. As well I can see how the world is and that in some places people are far worse off. So it makes my difficulties more bearable to compare in relation to greater issues.

I am hoping that I may get a local currency system going in my home town so that we may survive the worsening economic disasters being planned for us. I need to come out of my shell a lot more yet though. So I appreciate all the encouragement I can get! :D

{This was written over a year ago now. Since that time things have improved dramatically for me. I did not stick to my plans at the time of getting an open money market system going in my town in Canada. I ended up travelling overseas for a while and making an online community of spiritual light workers. I did try to divide my time between many Ning sites that are related in this way. It was more than the hours in the day I could devote. But I keep my memberships and tune in to each whenever i can, as now. I always intend to carry forward some love and lite from my way when I do make contact wherever that may be.}

Thank you for the opportunity to expand a little more with what I am comfortable doing so I can have a share in spreading truth, love and hope for all!!! :)))
