This is a self publishing site I am working on. I would also be willing to publish other peoples' work and also place ads. If anyone is interested please contact me at walterholstad@hotmail.com. For now this is one of the 4 websites I have published online with more on the way. They are www.walterholstad.com www.socialismworks.org www.hermitlife.net www.nonprofitactivities.net.

I believe that copyrights are actually holding us back rather than spurring innovation. More designs are blocked via copyright laws, more innovations held back and not developed, than are created with this incentive for large dollar profits. We as a society are working too much. That is what is destroying the planet. Work uses energy. We need a change of mindset and societal structure to make a healthier world, not some technological advance. One thing I don't understand is how people think the very system that is causing the problems in the world is going to suddenly do a 180 and save it.

This privatizition craze and constant trend to the right is also troubling. With no public land or entities left everything would be owned by the rich. The only free people would be the ones who conform to society. Spending 8 hours a day inside is too much and outside is destroyed mostly. We should be able to set up tents in the park if we want to. There should be alternatives to houses and apartment buildings. Monotony is coded into law. The lack of variety and options are difficult to reconcile with this popular conceived notion of a free society which people believe we live in.
