One that sticks out in my mind is a certain group of islands where leaders would "gift" precious family heirlooms to other leaders and then they would "gift it" to another family leader and so on. This was a way of building relationships among the different islands, forming treaties, basically building community. Check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_economy for many other cultural examples. Personally, I think money has separated us from each other and I would like to come up with new mediums of exchange, at least for smaller groups of people, that would allow us to us our personal skills to help others and vice versa. This would be much more pleasant than handing someone a few pieces of paper and metal, or a card made of plastic in a very superficial product exchange. I think poetry could be one of these alternate mediums. Hi Mike,
