As for the Project Venus...

Of course people will be skeptical, because we know that the majority of human beings respond better to a reward based system.

So, having everyone on a 1 way system won't work, especially if you force everyone into it, like Communism.

My husband was a teacher in China, went it was the Chinese version of "Communism", and admitted that he wouldn't go to work, and would do a poor job because he knew he would still get paid, and couldn't get fired. And, many of the buildings were constructed in a shotty manner for the same reason.

A better way would be to give people choices of how they would prefer to live.

For some, they might be more fulfilled and better challenged in a capitalist format, while others would do better in a Socialist format with a choice of which parts work better when Socialized, yet still have privatized choices along side. Others might feel happier living ins a Commune style or Communist way.

if we enable sustainable structures with multiple venues, then you get more choices. More choices and more options are better. And, there's no reason they can;t all exist along side one another.

The total myth of forcing everyone into capitalism isn't a good one either, because then everything is privatized, then only those whom can afford justice, medicines, food, and so on can get it or buy it.

Money its self isn't entirely evil. It's just a system of exchange, and we have economies that prosper, we have motion and advancement, but we also have the capacity to feed, nourish, educate and give even more.

They forgot to mention the goals going on with the economy, such as the "North American Union" (NAU) which is illegal and unconstitutional, but was signed into effect without our consent by President Bush in 2005.

They know they are devaluing the money, and what that will cause which is why they are doing it. They purposely want it to crash to FORCE us all into the NAU because, once our currency is devalued and crashed they can "save us" by forcing us onto the NEW currency of called the "Amero" (among other names) and nullify our constitution's laws.

Supposedly this NAU was stalled... "stalled" not canceled. but, they still mint and print the money in coins and notes/bills. They are really weird looking and have very high numbered increments.

I totally agree with you Eric. Addendum is definately the better of the two. I just found it very fascinating in the first movie how he explained different religious beliefs and how all the stories are all derived from astrology. I also find the whole 'Venus Project' idea to be very fascinating

Yes. The first one focuses on the problem. This one however gets into some actual solutions. So, I thought it would be a good idea to post it here.
