    We need to find alternative ways of living ...money is man made to control people...the right way of living is caring and sharing... No money..no Banks...no Gangsters posing as Banksters.
    Here in London these Banksters are living it high.. there was a photo of them in Lap Dancing Clubs splashing it out...while ripping of common people.
