Now, while YOU may have been able to live off the barter system i'm still willing to bet that it was money which was sustaining you and the person you bartered with. He earned it and you payed him back...where would you have been if he was in the same situtation as yourself?

Alright, consider this.... man leaves the ocean and stands on his own two feet for the very first time... he discovers wood, rock, metal... builds tools, builds a wheel... discovers fire... he eats, drinks, stays warm and survives.
Man and woman discover intemacy and procreates and creates a family.
How much money have they spent?
It was done wasn't it? So, why can't it be done now?
I know, you'll say "it costs money to do those things now."
No it doesn't. It costs YOU money because you don't know how to do that stuff on your own. Does that make you dumber than a cave man?? He did it, why can't you do it without money?
