If you don't mind me asking, and without getting too specific, what kinds of jobs were you not able to take without compromising your principles, and what were those principles?

[CitizenWorm]

I couldn't work at a gas station for example, or in any part of a corporation that was not environmentally responsible and humane, the standards for which go far beyond what the EPA, USDA and FDA say for sure.

Even jobs I have taken have been questionable like delivering pricey thai food when I could be working at a soup kitchen or spending time with shut-ins.

[DarthMerlin]

When you said that much of our legal system is informed by Christianity, what were you refering to, aside from the obvious "don't kill" and "don't steal"?

[CitizenWorm]

Not much specifically. Even if the obvious stuff isn't exclusively christian it would have been the main context in which these folks would have had to have processed it.

I cured my fear of capitalism by working for the government.

USA is generous to whoever is inside its territory. And if you want to be really concious about the environement they shoot yourself and do it quick... because its not going to get any better.

or you could grow your own food. The question is, is there some other way of living. I think it's pretty much the same whether you are a nomadic tribesperson who has to hunt and gather food or whether you work in a factory for minimum wage. Some say you're freer in the former, but you aren't. You are just subject to a less, umm, personal lord....(hey, did I just stumble on the origin of the phrase "to be subject to"?)

[Brandt761]

Relatively speaking, we do form a cohesive whole.

[CitizenWorm]

This is the point though, I have choice up to a certain place and then I have nothing but the muscles I can use to do the bidding of a lord and hope they compensate me enough that I make it from day to day.

(and this isn't coming at me so don't worry about it...this is just conversation. also lol @ "prodigal")
