This video is an attempt to show how we have all become slaves to money, and to those who control money. In it, I use water to represent money, and I’ve tried to show that "we the people" can free ourselves by thinking outside the box to overcome our fixation on the sort of money that has been provided for us and over which we have lost all control.
Every metaphor of course is limited and my hope is that listeners will come to understand that there are alternatives to conventional money that we can use to reduce, and eventually eliminate our dependence upon conventional political money. It is credit that is the foundation of an honest system of exchange and we have the power to give credit to each other in accordance with our own values and objectives, outside of conventional banks and without charging interest.
