HOME OVER EVERY HEAD-

With everybody working or learning, everyone would be contributing to society in one way or another. Since there would be no money, everyone would be able to have a house, or apartment, no matter what your income would have been.

Those who are in school are bettering themselves, which in turn, will better the rest of society when they finally start to work. Those who work are doing so already. How would you cover bills? How would you get food?

You just go into your job like every other day and go home like every other day. Except you don’t waste time with bills. Power is still running in your home, the TV is still on. You have your vehicle, and you have your bus drivers. Life would continue on, like it does now, but with a lot of other stresses gone.

There will always be the person who enjoys diving cabs, being police, flying airplanes, keeping the power flowing, cleaning up, fixing your shoes, or glasses. Those people’s reward: The thanks and Credit where credit is due.

“This guy makes the best pizzas!” “This guy can draw amazingly!” ~ If the credit and the recognition are not adequate for the person, then perhaps they are not in the job position they truly want to be in and are still finding themselves. The support is there for these people to get them where they want to be.

The other thing is art, acting and music. They are also considered contribution to society. Without the arts, there is no humanity. Those who wish to take up art in any way will still feel secure that they are contributing to society and will be remembered.

As long as you are contributing to society and you are bettering yourself at the same time, then you have a roof over you head. If you have no job and find it difficult to help out in society, there will always be those who enjoy helping you find the career for you.

For those who can not decide on a career, would be placed in a temp job somewhere, like McDonalds or some other “Unimpressive” Career, in order to help them realize they don’t want to do that with their lives and make them think of something better quick. Teenagers and those who are just getting into work would be placed in the un-popular jobs, until they figure out what they want to do.

NO PRISONS (AS WE KNOW THEM)-

With a society like this, those who were in prison for crimes in the past would have to be released (depending.) But not before training for entering a new world. They would have to realize that money is no more, and be taught what the big picture means for them. They no longer have to rob, deal drugs, or anything else for that matter, if they were in for lack of education and money.

Those who murder and commit more serious crimes would require special treatment and weather or not they could contribute to a new society, would remain to be seen.
There would be prisons in a sense, because you can never remove crime 100% but these would not be the prisons one would imagine they would be. For those who commit crimes in the new government would still face a trial and dealt with as appropriately as possible. Since in this new society, current laws and how to approach them would be reformed, and in the long run there would be a lot less types of crimes to deal with, therefore prison population would theoretically be smaller. These prisons would also actually be true “Correctional Facilities” where instead of being isolated for years, weeks and months without proper rehabilitation, and the general promotion of further criminal behavior from other inmates, there will be support there for them, so they can realize that they are not a lost cause. Additional details for extreme cases still remains to be organized.

LESS CRIME LAWS–

Within time, society may evolve into something that may not require crime or laws at all. Everyone would be able to get what they want, when they need it, they can do whatever they want in their lives, so long as it doesn’t interfere with another’s.

With everyone doing what they want with their lives, without the worries of money, then why would they commit crimes?

Once again, there will still be the Mentally Disturbed and people who may become serial killers, because the cause of these is still unknown or in the grey area of understanding, but with people who are passionate of their careers in the Military, Police and security, then you should feel confident that the best of society will track them down and protect you.

LEGALIZED BUT MONITORED DRUGS-

We all know that with the majority of laws dropped, money being gone, and freedom being explored further, there would be no need for laws against drugs. Everything from Caffeine to Crack would then become legal, however proper research and tests would have to be taken place on all drugs, and made known to the public, all pros and cons of each. Once again, education should be free and open.

Drugs are a personal thing, and at 18 years of age, nobody should be told what they can and can not do with their lives and their bodies. That’s what life is, personal experience, lessons and natural selection. The education would be there for them, and if they misuse that information, or don’t use it, then they will learn the hard way, and others will learn from their mistakes.

Programs will have to be out there to help people manage what they do. Some people like to drink a lot, and others like to go to a trance bar and dance with E. All experiences should be allowed, but help should always be there, so you don’t feel alone and you can take back your life, if worse case comes. With responsibility finally thrown into each and everyone’s hands, and the full spectrum of understanding is given to them about the consequences of their actions, society will no longer be treated as children under the government who don’t know what is best for them, when actually they do.

GLOBAL UNITY-

This method of government could work for one country, or the entire planet, if one so wished.

Some may wonder, “Ok, so your country has no currency, so how do you trade with other countries that still use money?”

Each country has a value in their lands, or something that another country can use. What you would do is something like this situation:

Let’s say Canada dropped currency. Now Canada exports lumber, fresh water, and many other things around the globe. If we were going to trade with the U.S., then what we would do is calculate the value (Money wise) of the amount of vehicles or computers we are to get from the US. Instead of paying for them, we do a goods trade, and say “We’ll take X amount of vehicles at this cost, and we’ll give your country X amount of lumber or water to this company in your country. The money they would pay us, just get them to pay the vehicle company. That way, their money is still flowing, they still get what they needed, and we get what we needed and all is balanced.

If a country did not want to trade this way, then too bad. Humans do not require things from other countries to live. Maybe to make things easier in life, but a country can still survive on it’s own with this system of government. If a country will not give you something you really need, because you would not trade currency, then you get your Scientists (Who enjoy their career and are there because they are the best) to help find alternatives to keep you going.

We all have to look out for one another and make each other’s lives better.

REAL DEMOCRATIC DECISIONS-

Along with the Global Employment Records for each person, they would be issued their own hand-held devices for voting on the fly and making decisions that will affect their society and country.

First thing would be to remove all politicians from the government and replace them with all new officials who are interested in making their country and the people in it, better and happier, not for money and a comfy place in life. These new politicians would not be in any position of real power, since the real power would be of the people for once. These new politicians would be mediators, to voice the majority of people they are run by.

If there are issues of health, or construction required for a location, the party member of that location would receive notification of a new official poll made up by the community, and would voice this poll to the political collective, and receive assistance from across the country, when needed.

When a party member seems to not be doing their job correctly, there are no 4 year waits for election, if the majority wishes for them to be replaced. Once again, all of this would be done by the hand-held devices, each person would be issued.

With today’s technology, it is possible to create these devices, or the necessary programs and tools required can be easily implemented into the common cell phone.

Political party members would consist of people who are interested in the people around them, care for their community and will do what is best for the majority.

No spur of the moment decisions would be made by this party. Ideas may arise, but must be presented to the country and approved by the people. 24 hour voting processes would have to be in place. Each day, you would check your Voting device and a list of decisions would be on them. If you did not have time to go through them at a part in the day, you would have 24 hours to place your vote, before the polls are closed and the final decision is made.

Pure Democracy, AKA: Direct Democracy, unlike today’s government, where you vote someone in, and they just start making decisions on their own and you got to suck it up.
