Really great perspective Kurt, I want so dearly to find a way to reach out to those who are afraid to reason good and bad for themselves. They are stuck listening to what mother and father government believes to be right and wrong.
I'm sorry to hear that you were forced from beautiful Mexico, I've told so many people in the states about the guy I met at Anarchapulco who is teaching English over the Internet and living for Pesos in Guadalajara (or at least I think that's where you were living) a pretty inspriring story to say the least.
Living for pesos? I'm pretty sure Kurt knows better than to live for some bank's monopoly money. ;-)
I'm sure that's not what you meant, but the words we use are important. The beginning of wisdom is calling things by their proper names.
You are right, and for the record that was a quick way of referencing the exchange rate between the currency he was earning (USD or EUR I don't recall) and MXN. It was great meeting you down there too, Nathan! I hope to see you both again.
Thanks @funderground. You're already writing about it so you're probably on the right track. Like I said in the piece, most people already know many of these things to be true. Soon enough we might see that the state is less like a leviathan and more like a boogeyman.
Yes, I was sorry about it too haha. However, strange twists give rise to new opportunities. You're right, I was living in Guadalajara. It's a great city, and still very cheap for a big city, even by Mexican standards. I hope it did inspire a few people. Now I'm back here I keep telling people they could be living on hundreds of dollars a month and have free time out the wazoo. The more people do that, the more time people will spend on their passions, and the richer Earth culture will be as a result.
