Move Your Money

While slightly off topic, I feel obligated to post this. The obvious recklessness, egotism and gluttony going on inside the largest banks in America is too hard for me to ignore. I saw this video that reminded me of what I think America was once like. But I’m just a college kid, so what do I know?

In this world, people who do good in the community are rewarded and people who hoard money and power for their own selfish ends are punished. In this world you’re not alone if you’re going through hard times, and only the bad guys look out for only their own. In this world people are known by the works that they do by their local community that knows them well. Wouldn’ t you like to live there? I know I would. And thanks to people like those at moveyourmoney.info it’s easier to move the world one step closer to something like that.

About

America isn't a healthy place. The lives that are socially acceptable for us to be living just aren't good for our bodies, our souls, or our planet. We eat food that we don't know what it's made out of, and then think we can fix it by eating more of it when it's got health claims. We send gift cards to each other, like we're incapable of telling someone how we feel about them. We hope death will go away if we just put on enough make-up. We even sell sexually revealing clothing to little girls. And at the end of the day, the simple thing is that a life built on these rules won't be satisfying or meaningful. This society provides never-ending insecurities, toys, and distractions, but not enough lessons on how to live your life proudly, and if you ever develop into a critical thinking, confident, and creative person you run against the current of thousands of advertisers and salesmen who want you to be an insecure and dependent consumer.
