I think the devil here, is in the details, and I don't consent to the idea of anything that requires labor, being an entitlement.
Oh yeah, that should be re-worded if it seemed to imply that. Nobody has to be forced into labor work. In this form of government what I meant by high school students and/or those who have no carrer goals working the "Crap" jobs.... I meant as jobs that don't require any secondary education.... ie: part time positions in the workforce.

For those who have no clue as to what they want to do, they'll have a list of available positions in all the available work fields they would be qualified for until they had further education. If they didn't want further education, then they could remain in the job they are in and still have an equal lifestyle to those who have secondary education.

If you are talking about having to be forced to work regardless.... that's not exactly the case. So long as you are a productive part of society in any form, that is your job. If you are in college learning, that's your job for the time being.... if you want to be a comedian, that's a job, etc.

To be able to just sit home and do nothing with your life and mooch off society isn't the way things should be..... it's happening now a days with people sucking in unemployment and people hate it.... why would it be permitted in this system?

Your above examples of why you are against my idea don't match to anything I was talking about. You would still have your property and you'd still be able to accumulate your property.... you'd also be fully allowed to defend your property and life for that matter.... none of that is being infringed apon in this method.

Please keep in mind, this is not the original "Direct Democracy" nor is it near the current Democracy we are living in today.... both of these methods are/were flawed, which is why I thought this one up.

Majority rule of 51% isn't fair indeed.... which is why each community would have each of their laws that affected them to be judged by themselves. General Human rights and methods of running the country would be a national issue and if it wasn't a majority vote one way or another, then it would have to be worked on further.

Then again, Anarchy doesn't work either..... it'd be nice, mind you.... but in the big picture, it holds too many problems and loses the essence of what humanity is about..... imo.

I have a right to privacy, in so much as I can defend my privacy. As technology increases, this threat is the most insidious since it attempts to de-value that which has the most value, information, gained from labor by those with intrest and the natural ability to pursue it with pleasure.
True, privacy is a big issue, including myself.... sorta.... my section on "Global Carrier Recording" is exactly that.... it's meant for your professional side of life.... one resume or anything else that you would like to add that you would like people to know.

You have the ability to move where you want in this method of government, and it's be easier to do to, because the government would help you with the process.

I'd like to see that list, when you have time.
Please scroll up to the "Global Unity" section.... as well as the following I took from another forum I was to add, lol:

By the way, I almost forgot to mention how to start the implimention of this goverment process....

An easy and semi-safe way to test to see if this method would work, is to do it with a test city/town. Allow the one town to operate for one or two years this way and study how they work and interact with other towns and cities who still use currency. Chances are the town may not have a college or university for this type of process to have free education, so it would be more or less a study of the businesses and the people who work in them to see how things function. A university/college would still function similar to a business and how they interact with their clients/students.

If any issues arise, then they can be addressed easier then it being a national system right away. A prototype so to speak. This would also be able to represent how one nation would ineract with other nations around the globe, only it would be a town interacting with the country.

Once this process passes, you can start to impliment it into another town, to double check to see if it will still work elsewhere, and if all goes well in the second attempt, then it would be safe to say it would work for the rest of one country, with a few tweeks here and there, which would be expected.

My theory is if this did work well overall, then you probably would also see an increase of interest and population growth in that community, due to other's wanting a chance at this new method of living.

--------------------------------------------------

Another trend you might see is a population balance happen over the country. Since cost of things would be irrelevent, and everything being equal, people who previously had fixed incomes or low income would be able to move outside of their normal limits and head back to smaller towns and locations where property values were high and difficult to meet, except for those who could afford it in the past or who have retired.

This would also help the problem of high concentrated populated areas, such as in cities, reduced and those who were in low income housing and "Seedy" neighbourhoods would be able to move out of those locations, making a highly populated area less populated and tensions reduced in those area, which are prone for violence and hostilities.

More people would be able to have their own family vehicles to get around, and without the problem of currency, Oil would be obselete and then the country could start moving forward much more faster with more enviromentally friendly vehicles and devices.

The transition from fossil fuels to alternative fuels would be something that would have to span about 10 years aprox, due to the complex transition of companies, housing, vehicles, and the general market.
