"addicting us to the money system"? What a crock. You choose every day to use it. Better to earn hard cash than grow some tomatos and spend half your time bartering because your mechanic, dentist, tailor, and dairyman don't want or need tomatos.

Take some responsibility for your actions and your life. You choose how to live it, every day. If you don't like this society we've built, go live in the forest. Really. Go away, and go live in the forest. There are thousands of miles squared of state and national park land still left. Especially outside of over-populated California.

We offer you something so good you can't see ever giving it up, and then you blame us for making you an "addict"? We provide a necessity, and this makes us evil?

It is you who would never survive on your own, because you do not appreciate what you have nor who provides it, nor will you accept responsibility for and take charge of your life.

Kindly stop taking my money and showing up for work, if it offends you so. Incidentally, I do not make freeways. I sell art glass. Oooh, am I depleting the world's supply of sand?
