" There is no productive endeavor when there is no reward" - carlton, what a load of crap...a true creator, inventor, artist, craftsman etc is not motivated by monetary rewards but by the process & the need to realize the idea, provided one can find the resources to do it & while being able to feed & shelter oneself. to be totally motivated to do anything by "what will i get for it" is simply madness. in this insane Kapitalist existence, great ideas/works etc are more often today scrapped, shelved , forgotten due to ones inability to find the time between 2-3 jobs (to pay ones mortgage), or cannot find the funding coz our insane economic system would rather invest in wars & insecurity programs. would rather cut social services - education, health, housing etc than make megacorporations pay any (significant) tax.

ide rather live in a world where one is "forced" to eat (for ones own sake) than be forced to starve. it is not in capitalists interest to feed everyone but exploit who it can & dispose of the rest. One day amerika will figure it out but until then the rest of the world will sit & wait for you & in the meantime be at the mercy of its schitsophrenia & hypocracy...fear of having social values coz it undermines "freedom"...happy to impose its (war of) "freedom & liberty" upon the rest of the world but not look at itself...claims to have christian values but profit (& hatred of those who question "profit") has become its greatest virtue - free is the one who wants none.
