Future California

What is the future of California? I ask various questions and generate discussion around what our future is. Particularly in light of Peak Oil and the resulting economic difficulties.

Stop paying the bills

So much lip service is paid to "changing the world," at this point I am nauseated by the use of this generic phrase. The assumption is always that change is good. Admittedly, even the use of this phrase indicates a recognition that this world is pretty fucked up and indeed does need to be changed, at least that's something. How to enact beneficial change and any agreement of principles to begin with is lacking. I propose that we take a leap into the unknown...

Do you want to do something revolutionary?
Stop paying your bills...
Stop paying the credit card, mortgage, phone, cable, car, energy bills...

Not only will this have the immeadiate benefit of forcing you to live within your means, but it would also crash the capitalist system and the US government to boot.

The "system" that we all talk about and despise, rests on your shoulders. Your promise to pay those bills, your debt, your future productivity is the only thing keeping the "system" going.

You can still have the things that money buys, and you don't have to use money to get them.
How? Take them.
