	<description><![CDATA[<p>we have a problem in the banking system, certainly.</p>
<p>but, it seems to me our largest problem, as it stands, is our dependency on such a system.</p>
<p>after all, aren&#039;t we the one&#039;s who offer our money at the lowest level?</p>
<p>what exactly do we need banks for?</p>
<p>and is it possible to survive without them?</p>
<p>is it possible to implement alternative forms of currency? if so, how? </p>
<p>can you boycott a bank? en masse?</p>
<p>there once seemed to exist a mutually beneficial relationship between people and banks, but this relationship has evolved in a bad way. it now costs us way more than it&#039;s worth to contribute to any kind of relationship. it only makes sense to me to break up with the banks...</p>
<p>what can we do about changing our dependency on the system entirely?</p>
