Or at least that's what they told Alex. I think it's doable. You know...no money.

This is one thing that has always amazed me. Many people are of different faiths but if there is a belief in a god why are so many paying literally to breathe and to live on a land they were born on? It seems to me that no one has the right to charge for a mortgage on land that they do not ultimately own let alone draw up a contract for it as they can not prove that they owned it in the first place. There is no proof of ultimate ownwership of land as you would have to get gods signature on a peice of paper. Who has that? Then there is the land tax! has anyone tried to prove this in court?
I am not Christian but I moved away from a system that says I have to pay to breathe. The ten commandments are a good guide though. I choose not to feed greed and profiting for the sake of it.
There is a strong voice in my head that says in ever increasing volume as I look around "we are not meant to live like this."
The Zeitgeist film shows me that there are other critical thinkers who feel the same.
