Are we reliant on the system? Depends.
I work a solid fourty a week, and more than the governments fair share comes outa my check, this I know. Do I have a fair knowledge of how to hunt, cook, and farm? Kinda, my dad knows more about hunting and farming, probably cooking as well, to be honest.
Now according to you, we should just start minimalizing work. Which makes me ask if you've ever had a job. You can't just say, "Hey Boss, I'm going to fight the system, so I won't be coming in the rest of the week."
He'll support your decision right out the door. And generally speaking, a clerk who doesn't offer you a drink of water's just aJack. Doesn't have anything to do with the government. TO break it simplistically, a twelve ounce is someone's product, that they supply to the dealer, who in turn supplies it to a store...

Part of the promise along the way is that everyone involved is going to get enough cash to also afford their own costs. It doesn't matter what those costs are, Wether it's paying for your car, your family, your bills, or for the supplies you need for farming, you still need to work for 'em.
While you're remarking on how SOAD really gets it, man, check out how well their CDs did. See how wll they earned. Sure,you could steal songs, fighting against the systm, but then you are stealing their product as well.
It's also fairly amusing to me how people who rally against global warming or pollution, and rant endlessly about the pollutiion we cause, havn't taken the time to research the methods being taken to counter the bad we've done. Seriously, it's pretty remarkable. Once we got a slap to the face, we're starting to get our act together in that department. Green trains, jets, buildings, a remarkable plethora of things that, yes, will take time to come out, but are definetly past just a planning stage.
