But Michael, you might object, you have to eat. You have to have a roof over your head.
And i answer (tongue only partly in cheek) is the function of a human then to earn money? The human body is certainly built to eat, and it ate before McDonald's, before the institution of any bank or currency, before a standard minimum wage. To eat and seek shelter is certainly natural, but to equate that with the thoroughly unnatural and unnecesarry paraphernalia of our financial system, etc...
It's an illusion to think that the one dependes upon, or cannot exist without, the other. Because the tone and purpose of our society is not sustenance but, an almost opposed idea, gluttony. The emphasis is not on shelter but upon protection for acquired products...
(spin out these ideas ad infinitum nauseam...)
