Hi,

I'm from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Machinamentum I saw your post.

This debt based monetary system we have had for a long time is dissolving before our eyes. The dollar can't sustain itself much longer.

If you are like me, I don’t have the money to buy gold or silver and I can't move to South America. I'm going to have to get creative right here.

IMHO we need another method of exchange for goods and services. One of the ways we can do that is the barter system. I have skills, goods, and services that others might need I know others would have skills and goods that I will need.

I'm retired Army. One of my skills is organization. If there are others in the Colorado Springs area that want such a system, I am willing to get it started.

I honestly believe that the only way we are going to survive this is to stick together.

I'm reminded of the part in the Declaration of Independence that says, "...Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and institute new government, laying it's foundations on such principles and organizing it's powers in such form at to them shall seem most likely to effect there safety and happiness."

Perhaps it is time.

I'm here and I intend to survive.
