To be free, governments themselves would have to be stopped, we could not have groups of potential leaders, powerful people at the head of decision making for our own well-being. We would have to control it.
By decree of the almighty prophex.
We wouldn't need leaders, leaders like Bismarck, Napolean, Bush, Hitler, and Charlemagne
No, just you and your brother, right
There would be no democratic voting, because voting is a less than fruitful experience, ending in a choice for the better of the 2, or 3, or 400, leaders and groups. The better of, is not the best, the best is when one controls his or her own destiny totally.
For you two would be fearless leaders
There would be no need for these out-dated systems. There would be no towns. There would be no cities. There would be no counties. There would be no countries. There would be only the earth, as it is.
Okay fearless leader, where well 6.5 billion people live?'
True freedom would also mean that there would be no economic systems, because there would be no need for money, no need for primitive currencies to buy and sell, all of which limits the freedoms of the people, forced to use the system constructed or be a hopeless starving
So the masses are not hopelessly starving, how are you going to convince people to toil on the farm, then with no form of payment feed those who are enjoying your 'true freedom'? So that women do not suffer in chid birth, babies and children do not suffer from childhood diseases, so the infirm and handicapped are cared for, and so that all are taking care of when accidents happen how do you propose to insure the medical/dental health of your subject ( yes your subjects guess what this is your idea). How are you going to transport it anything needed to the masses, remimber you did away with the means.
Let me fix one of your statements for you

Think long and hard of what that lifestyle entails and you'll realize it's quite the opposite of what you've said.
You two need to grow up. here is somethings you'll need to know.
1) Royalties , lets see whats involved shall we. You'll have to copyright your songs with the Library of Congress. now there are many forms of copyright licenses compulsory, statutory royalty rate,shared copyrights(also sample compository), and transfer of copyrights
2) Then there is the players songwriters, publisher, performer, recording company/label, performing rights organization. mechanical rights agencies.. royalties
3) forms of royalties mechanical rights and royalties so you can reproduce music on a medium,performing rights and royalties you want your music played on the radio or maybe you tube right, synchronized rights and royalties maybe theres a movie that wants your song in it these is even needed for aired snippets,print rights and royalties the songwriter and publisher need their money.You made need to get foreign rights and royalty for some countries.
The songwriter and publisher split the mechanical royalties 50/50, they also get the performance royalties split the same way for songs given air play( radio, restaurants, or bars)
Guess what, as a recording artist you are paid 5-10% of sales. sound good? read on. a 15 dollar cd thats sells one mi. you will get 1,012,500 , so far so good. Now you were given an advance when you signed your contract that is subtracted from that amount(recoupment). The recording cost, promotional and marketing cost, tour cost and video music cost. Yeah the record company fronts the money, you will pay it back! It usually works like this recording cost=300,000, music video cost 400,000 so you pay 200,000,tour cost 200,000 you pay 100,000. Thats $800,000 subtract that from 1,012,500=$ 212,500 ,good nah pay you manager his 20%. That leaves $170,000 to be divided among all members. Another fct, you pay the recoprding company back before you see any money!
This is just the beginning. All your post prove neither of you think it through.

Come on - you wanna do it again?
Do you, you feel like I do?

My friend got busted just the other day
They said don’t walk, don’t walk, don’t walk away
He drove into a taxi bent the boot hit the back
Had to play some music otherwise he’d crack
Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?
Champagne for breakfast and a sherman in my hand
***** top, ***** tails - never fails
Must have been a dream I don’t believe where I’ve been
Come on - you wanna do it again?
