		A Bit of History Before mass industry and consumerism, everyone worked to feed and clothe themselves. Making their own and trading with others. Trading for something someone else didn't have. A so called "poor" farmer had little money but he had his farm. He had his food - everything from bread, vegetables, butter, milk, eggs to meat - and his clothes, for himself and his family. He was self reliant. He didn't need much money as long as he had his farm. His farm paid for itself and his family's living. He was, in essence, rich. Same with the weaver, the silver smith, the blacksmith, the carpenter, the dressmaker, the grocer, the doctor, the book binder, and others. Who they were was their livelihood, their business. They did not have a lot of money but they lived and helped others. They were self sufficient. They had everything they needed. They did not need federal government intervention. They did not need laws to tell them how to raise their kids or what not to do to their own health or who they could or could not do business with. They were a free people. Then came mass production and big business. When a family was self sufficient there was little time to have "fun" and leisure. Life was hard work. As new worlds were discovered and new inventions were created life was made "easier" and more luxurious. New mass producing industries replaced the output of the hard working individual's efforts to feed and cloth themselves. So, in essence, people traded in their business, their self reliance, for an "easier" life. This replacement of self reliance made way for consumerism - the theory that a progressively greater consumption of goods is economically beneficial. And the attachment to materialistic values or possessions.(2). Along with consumerism came lesser quality of goods (if not there could not be the regular rotation of consumerism), more competition to gain customers, therefore the need to close the smaller businesses out, and the dishonesty and corruption in the business sector. And let's not forget that the Federal Regulations laws on manufacturing is not to force businesses to be perfectly honest or make high quality goods, if it did then the Federal Government would lose out on the methodology of consumerism as well, so the laws were made with a minimum of support. So, businesses sprang up in every aspect of life to cater to the masses. First with the essentials of life: food, clothing, shelter and education; then the little luxuries: transportation, communications, entertainment; then the big luxuries: jewelry, fine clothing, gourmet foods; and the once unnecessary: employment, fast food, health clubs, diets, exercise machinery, and sports. All these replacements for self reliance caused people to become trapped into a consumer society. People became dependant on businesses that supplied the "easily accessible" goods. Today if these businesses were to collapse, people could not survive on their own. Consumerism, created by the industrial revolution, has caused the entrapment of the "consumer to business" cycle. One can no longer live without the other. Without the consumer spending the money there would be no businesses. Without the businesses there would be no jobs. Without the jobs there would be no consumer to spend money on businesses. The self reliant person/family is now obsolete. However, there is a light of hope, a theory that the cycle is returning back to its beginning. Today, with the increase of individuals having to start their own small businesses the cycle seems to return to its roots, only now it's high tech, fast cars, modern machinery, high fashion, entertainment, and many more industries that help support the need for "the easy life". Is it really easy? Before life was hard physical work. Today it is hard mental work. Our Business* Area** ..was created for the individual by offering information on jobs, small business information, and opportunities in their endeavors to become independent and self reliant. We promote free enterprise, free choice, and free thinking. We believe if you like it you'll come back, if you don't, you won't. Simple. Easy. Before the end of the year 2003, we plan on having a forum dedicated to business. Our Money Pit Board will be a forum designed for discussions on business. How to make money. How to get started. Where to go and what to do. It's for you to use for your needs as an individual, as a family, as a business owner, as a student and even as a retired individual who would like to make a few extra dollars. We have, so far, added only a fraction of what is planned. We are continuously looking for more ideas to help the general public, and we will not try to fool you, we want to help ourselves too. We believe that to help others is to help ourselves. We accept any suggestions, ideas or exchanges of information you might have. Just click on the Suggestions tab above and tell us what you think.
