I am used to it, Clinton, just like I'm used to conventional stupidity and conformity of all kinds...but that doesn't mean I approve of it. And I am keenly aware of the possible and advisable alternatives to it. I have lived in small communities where money was not the first consideration, although it was not, of course, ignored...it just didn't dominate people's mental agenda, that's all.

In other words, it was put in its proper place...as a mere tool to ease the exchange of valued goods and services, rather than as an end in itself. All anyone needs is enough money, and enough money is not really a whole lot of money. Tell that to a corporate CEO who doesn't give a shit what ecosystems he destroys and what people he enslaves in search of ever greater wealth for an arbitrary entity (the corporation) which began as a figment of someone's imagination.

Man, Clinton, instead of just repeating "that's just the way it is...things'll never change", why don't you try dreaming a little for a change? We do not have to just accept the status quo in this World. We can change it, little by little. We have the power to do that. Or do you think we are powerless? I tell you we are not.
