Congrats, kurdt. You just made my quote file.

Trust me, I've considered leaving many times.  I take the good with the bad and try to improve the place where I live which is currently America.  But money is God here, and it makes me ill

I know, it ain't that easy. I have contemplating leaving Finland many times but my lady likes it here so I'm staying. What's truly ironic is that America was founded to combat the exact problem you are now swimming in. Capitalism with capitalistic government doesn't obviously work. Mix socialism with democracy and you get Finland. Mix capitalism with socialism and you get Holland, the father of modern banking and currently one of the best countries around.

It's funny sad that currency has been converted from being tool of trade to essence of life.

And it just keeps getting worse since most with leadership capacity still promote the problem, regardless of being aware of it.  There's some wicked brilliant collectives of evil geniuses in our world who continue to crank out soothing, self-serving logic for the masses to swallow and regurgitate.  It's tough learning about these things sometimes since most everyone you know will consider you crazy for even bringing them up.

>money is god everywhere, but some countries god is not taken as seriously.

And God deals harshly with those who betray Him

Yup, change comes with one small step at the time. First it was gladiator matches, now it's desperate housewifes. Entertainment distracts and passive entertainment kills. But I believe crossroads choice is coming and stakes have never been higher. If Google & Facebook seize the web it's basically back to square one for free humanity. Both companies represent the model where business is made out of people and not with the people. When people become currency, ethics and morals go out the window because in current climate money equals life. If company builds their business around making money out of people with goodwill, goodwill will not stand a change when business model doesn't produce profits like it used to.
