    Cagsil ~ Free enterprise for all Americans...that would be nice. You're almost talking about a trade system then, where money is really irrelevant.

    In turn, one business owner would 'pay' one business owner, who would take that money and pay a business owner. In the end, owners are just trading with owners. And with that type of system in place, I'm not sure how many Americans would jump on board...especially your top 1 percent, who inevitably control everything. smile

      Don't stop there. Remember, it isn't necessary for American companies do only business in America- DUH!- Global dude.

      How can it not work? America is an OPEN FREE MARKET Society, where ANYONE can open a business and offer products/goods or services to the public.

      It doesn't take rocket science.

    I would write hubs myself, but Im whooped, trying to relax a bit before bed..I made some very unique art pieces, candles, but I do not actually see the buyer burning them unless they want the "prizes" inside ( why I chose glycerine gel as my medium, you can see the prize through the translucent colors ) but as always i kept everything gren and 1 of a kind, so I took awhile doing these ten,,tomarrows basic soy and beeswax candles should go fast as a breeze since my essences and names are already prepared, then I got some jewelry to get made and finally I can make a few new hubs , hopefully I will have enough merch, to open a basic ebay store, unless the owner feels he needs more of m art medias..

    who knows, Im jus tired and relaxing smile

    Don't think more into than there is.

    Integration, requires you to see a whole puzzle, piece by piece.

    That is not something you can to, unless you learn to. This needs to be taught to you.

    It's not taught anywhere in America or the world for that fact.

    Why? Because, 80% of the world's weath is owned by 20% of the people. Those who control the money, control and maintain power.

    I guess I never had faith in my writing...I mean I just write because I love it and it makes my stress levels go down, plus it helps my imaginstion have its fun. But I don't know...I just never had faith in what I write...

    I want people to like what I read and I know that not everyone will but I always have had this fear that nobody will like my stories.


    and thanks Cagsil...I don't know I did get somewhat of a good reaction to my synopsis but still...don't have faith in what I am writing...

    1. Cagsil profile image70
      Cagsilposted 15 years agoin reply to this

      Crazd, you can only do what you can? You can only put out the best that you have to offer.....if you don't try? Then what's next?

      Failure should never be an option. Yes, you're going to have setbacks, it always happens, but how you bounce from those setbacks on to your game is what defines you.

      So, what's it gonna be- are you going to let it beat you or not?

      Wimp status or Success status? That's your own choice.

      Remember, even if you don't get a huge turn out, but good, it's still a bonus, because you know you have something people want to read.

      Don't be hard on yourself, before you even try? You'll never get any thing done, nevermind writing a book.

      Come on- think differently!

      1. profile image0
        Crazdwriterposted 15 years agoin reply to this

        I do think differently...that's my problem. I don't have an optimistic look out for my writing, sometimes even on life itself. I'm still shocked that I am even married with a guy who loves me for me and wants me to write, pushing me to write.

        I want to succeed in my writing part of life but having ppl reject me does make it hard...I guess I just need to do what my husband says and send it to one agent and if they say no say screw you and send it to another...but still have this fear all agents will say no to my writings.

        1. Cagsil profile image70
          Cagsilposted 15 years agoin reply to this

          Well, put your BEST foot forward. And, he's right, keep sending.

          Persistence pays off. Patience is a virtue. You've been patient enough to write it, it would be insanity not to try to publish it.

          Writing to easy stress....that's what the forums are for.

          Writing a book require focus and determination. Nothing else.

          You either will yourself to get it done and into the right hands or you don't.

          Worry about rejection? Have the attitude, they'll be sorry!

          Not, well it got rejected, so it means I'm not any good. That's for losers. You don't appear to be a loser.

          Turn it around, they'll be sorry they didn't sign you. That simple....positive.

    Imaginatory type stories are always something someone is looking for.

    To see things from someone else's perspective.

    It makes them feel like they are walking in your shoes. If the story is about life experiences. Is something else people look for.

    Made-up, fictional stuff, has flocks of followers that read all sorts of books.

    You won't know until you actually try.
