    About this ebook

    In today’s world, as well as in the past, the subject of the world monetary system and its adverse effects on humanity has so often been debated that there seems nothing else to consider. Why is it that so many have determined that the pursuit of money and all that it promises trumps the pursuit of happiness? Have generations of Americans been so conditioned over time that they cannot discern between an emotional attachment to money and natural reality? It appears that our world revolves around the illusion of money more than ever. Rolley believes that the Money Machine in America is indeed well nourished and thriving, but he is also convinced that a larger percentage of our citizens have had enough, and are serious about alternatives that will enhance their personal lives and free them from a type of self-imposed bondage to the Money Machine. Rolley’s visceral and humane approach to the topic makes for a thought provoking and lively read.

    Rolley Hurley

    Perhaps it was from his early childhood where his introspective insight may be found, and of where he instinctively embraced the only perception he knew. Rolley was born legally blind, which blurred the visual world around him until the age of six, when eyeglasses dramatically changed his initial introduction. This new perspective never truly destroyed the intensity of his earlier environment. The evidence of his inward reality to find comfort and meaning that he experienced early on and how he has come to know life today is finally being revealed through his writing. He attempts to illustrate the essence of this understanding that he believes is inherited from birth.After years of denying his true aspirations, he finally proceeded to exploit his passion for writing. He learned many skills in the art of Labor along the way, which labeled him a jack of many trades. There were many facets of life he experienced that could have prevented his progress, but none had more impact than his battle with Alcoholism. Fortunate to have found sobriety that could redefine his character at the age of thirty four, he developed a spiritual path in order to remain sober. He has since succumbed to his spiritual principles and philosophical ideas with an extended need to write it down. Always writing from what he feels, a lot of his works are privately distributed. Wanting to share with everyone his gained knowledge of happiness, he is now publishing several of his short stories and articles. His intentions are to clarify the meaning of anything he writes, with a simple and easy to understand explanation.

      Money Should Be Illegal

      Introduction

      The most powerful form of persuasion ever to infiltrate human conditions is not an act of nature, not a single individual or group, but an imaginary concept created out of nothing, and one that has absolutely no value toward sustaining life. Money is nothing more than an illusionary symbol that robs humanity of its dignity, and separates us from enjoying a united camaraderie that would enhance our true potential. Probably the greatest myth ever to be imposed on humanity, is the belief that we need some form of Monetary System to govern our race.

      There have been volumes written in scripture and philosophy on the subject of money. There is also a diverse perception of what these writings all mean. Depending on how one looks at it, money should never be justified as a good or bad thing, but our society revolves around its importance, and demands that we acquire it... This basic fact is accepted as the way things are, and rarely, if ever, questioned. Money has always been the only legal tender that we mortal souls have known, so it is certainly not a new or easy subject to debate. .

      Bartering is not synonymous with an inordinate love of money...money
