I am told that there are two disadvantages of money: (1) absense of
interest income and (2) loss of purhasing power in inflationary
periods.

I understand (2). Comparing a money exchange economy to an exchange
economy with barter, since inflation is the increase in absolute
prices, inflation cannot occur in a barter economy because barter
economies have just relative prices.

However, what is it mean by absense of interest income being a
disadvantage?

Not sure - but if it's in an everyday/ transaction type bank account
earning 0.1% it's pretty easy to understand. In an internet account
though at 5.4% or so it's not so bad, and not that much lower than
Bonds are yielding at the moment.

Cash's obvious advantage to offset it's general lower returns is it's
reliable liquidity. It's not a bad idea to have 3 to (preferably) 6
months living expenses in cash before you get too involved in starting
a portfolio. That way you are less prone to panic/ sleep easier in a
market downturn, likewise you can ride things out more comfortably in
the event of a downturn in your "human capital" due to illness or
unemployment.

The love of money[usury] is the root for all evil.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they 
are free." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Lets face facts. Government as practiced is nothing but an organized 
criminal fascist enterprise run by religious 
capitalists[jesuITs/zionists] intent on retaining control over us and 
our children through the usurydebt practices of central banking formed 
by lovers of money. Western governments are in fact composed of 
luciferian lovers of money and is the scourge of our times. The entire 
western way of life is corrupt to its core because we allow ourselves to 
be ruled and deceived by luciferian lovers of money enacting monied laws 
to rule over us at our expense. Western history created by lovers of 
money is filled with past and present global genocide, monied lies, 
manufactured disease, raw greed, and merciless brainwashing, along with 
a slow erosion of citizen and human rights to exist as sovereign and 
free human beings. If this agenda is not luciferian I don't know what is.

I want to be clear. Our rights are being compromised for economic 
reasons. Given this simple fact, would it not make sense to fix the 
economic system that is compromising our rights?

Here then is an overview of YOUtopia, designed to fix todays problems 
through simple, viable, cheap, peaceful economic reform.

= = =

YOUtopia

MISSION of YOUtopia: To forward and support in-common yearnings for 
peace, freedom, love, justice, understanding, prosperity, health, 
opportunity, and growth for the good of all our relations through the 
discussion and dissemination of simple, viable, peaceful, 
common-sensical economic reform designed to benefit everybody worldwide 
no matter their beliefs or belief system.

DESCRIPTION of YOUtopia: YOUtopia in practical terms is in essence an 
economic system designed to empower the active manifestation of dreams 
built on individual and collective philosophies and beliefs. The 
inhabitants of YOUtopia, are YOU, ME, US and THEM. In other words, WE 
EACH define YOUtopia according to OUR terms, dreams, needs, wants, and 
desires, BOTH individually AND collectively as co-inhabitants of 
YOUtopia. YOUtopia is grounded in the human condition and is designed to 
improve the human condition for all peoples worldwide through sound, 
viable, peaceful economic reform that is designed to improve living 
conditions for all life forms. YOUtopia is a TRUE global economic system 
that is designed to fill need, want, and desire at a highly reduced cost 
for the good of all our relations.

VIRTUES of YOUtopia: YOUtopia is anti-war, anti-poverty, anti-crime, 
anti-disease, and anti-usury. YOUtopia is pro-freedom, pro-peace, 
pro-growth, and pro-prosperity. YOUtopia is not a religion, a political 
movement or a cult. YOUtopia embraces self-expression, diversity and 
freedom for all. YOUtopia is also designed to empower growth for all, 
all at a lesser cost for all.

PHILOSOPHY of YOUtopia: In a phrase, freedom from monetary limitations 
imposed on peoples worldwide through centralized world banking cartels 
imposing monied policies, rules, laws, and practices implemented and 
institutionalized at the expense of others. The philosophy of YOUtopia 
simply put is to work together for the good of the all instead of the 
few through basic economic reform.

ECONOMIC SYSTEM of YOUtopia: YOUtopia is structured around simple 
concepts and ideas aimed to enable and empower all belief systems eqally 
and equitably for the good of all. The way to accomplish this seemingly 
daunting task is to seperate and expand the current global monied 
economic models into a simple yet effective two-tiered system based on 
the application of usury for all in-common and all un-common goods and 
services. In other words, all IN-COMMON goods and services would be 
usury-free and All UN-COMMON goods and services would not be usury-free. 
In simpler terms, money would remain for both tiers, usury would not.

BENEFITS of YOUtopia: The benefits of such a simplfied usury-reformation 
economic system are profound. Less monied war, poverty, crime, disease 
coupled with more freedom, opportunity, prosperity, growth for the good 
of all worldwide.

Ask: Do you want more stuff for you and yours? Do you want a bigger 
better house? Do you want a bigger better car/truck? Do you want more 
cash in your pocket? Do you want more free time to enjoy more stuff? Do 
you want more prosperity? Do you want more opportunity? Do you want more 
efficiency? Do you want less disease, less war, less poverty, less 
suffering, and less confusion? Do you want future generations to grow up 
with unlimited potential? Do you want everyone to enjoy more freedom, 
peace, love, understanding, respect, prosperity, and growth for the good 
of all our relations or do you only want a select few to enjoy these 
benefits at your expense? If you want more good things, choose usury 
reformation and the above mentioned benefits will become manifest.

In closing for now, each of us have a choice to make. Freedom FROM 
monied evil or slavery TO monied evil. I choose Freedom. How about you?
