The Changes

The definition of credit began as a honour system. To be credible means you can be trusted. Your word was your guarantee and deals are made on a handshake.

I lose track of this conversation with myself (and yes, there are a couple of other folks who've read this stuff and commented to me, but mostly it feels very singular). But I do want to leave an update.

a while ago i participated in something called Project Connect, an event that brings together a whole lot of services available to homeless people in our community, in one place for one day. there were dentists, barbers. people advising on affordable housing, and hot meals - not to mention the smiles and love.

I live and love in gastown/dtes - in a little loft/condo.   I have a problem that a social enterprise could solve.

I want to compost but have no garden, and not much room in my home.  So, I'm going to try Bokashi (small buckets, no smell).  But here's the thing:  I have nowhere to put the compost once it's ready.

If you are truly interested in changing the world, then you need to understand who controls it.  From my perspective from the research I've done in the following report, those who create the money supply are in charge.  The following link starts in the middle of the report - at the core - dealing with how money is created, how this process is abused, and offers some suggestions to the reader

The following message was forwarded to me internally at Vancity and I have a friend who got such a call today. Please feel free to send a link to this page to your friends and family so that they have the heads up about this.
