Unlimited Free Space: Comprehensive Waterfront Plan

I must say that I'm a little confused by the whole free space concept. Would that entail even someone's office? You could just walk in AT&T and enter the records and say, hey! ... So, that would be the end of capitalism? So to speak... |
| USI |
[lots of laughter] So to speak. Yeah... |

Well, I'm more about the barter system. My brother, the restaurant owner is a dollar-driven man. He's all about money. I'm a feel-good person. I'm more driven by emotion and feelin' good and I always believed in the barter system. I never liked money. I think it corrupts people. I like to trade. I give you a little love and a piece of chicken and you give me a - |

Questions! |

No. You know what I'm sayin'? We got somethin out of it. We got some company. You know? Yeah, I believe, if you got rid of capitalism, and broke down some of those walls, there would be a chance for free space. Unlimited free space. I would love it. I'm totally into it. |

But, if you take the capitalism away, then there would be no control. People would start polluting. [START polluting? -editor note] |
| David |
Well, the Russians had some sort of- In the Soviet days, they had unlimited free space for the government. They could go wherever they want and take whatever they want. Socialism. It's a tough racket, that unlimited free space. |
| Ly |
I think there should be some control. People shouldn't pollute... |
| David |
I'm always hopin' for harmony amongst creeds, religions, races. But, there's so many barriers - smaller ones, bigger ones - that we have to conquer. |
| VJ |
Do you think that people would be able to set the limits themselves? Or, that they wouldn't? So, therefore, you would need to have some kind of system or authority that has to put the limit up for people...? |
| Ly |
If we all thought the same. If we all cared the same. |
| David |
I think people have the innate ability to be that way. Like, if you put some people in a really tragic incident, everyone - you get the richest guy in the room and the poorest guy in the room but, they're in trouble, like a boat that's sinkin'. Then they've all gotta learn to help one another to save each other. The innate goodness in people comes out. In a place like New York City: unlimited free space; there's hardly any space at all. But, you go out to Alaska or someplace really rural and unlimited free space is very tangible. People there - if you gotta travel miles and miles for a quart of milk, then you'll be glad to see Betty come to your store to get a quart of milk. |

So, you think unlimited free space and cities don't go together? |

It's just tough, it's tougher. I pay a thousand dollars a month for
a little, teeny room. There's no space to pay for. That's why I love this
right here so much. Did we lose track of the Jack Daniels? But unlimited free space: there's places where it's tangible as well. Like on the net. There's unlimited free space. You can go anywhere you want. And in your mind. |
| Ly |
They can't take the space in your mind. |
| David |
There's some chicken in there if you guys are hungry from that interview. Well, are you guys takin' on recruits? I wanna join the army. Do I get a yellow suit? |
| Ly |
It's a cool suit. |
| David |
Whoo! That Jack Daniels is rippin' through me! |
| Ly |
Can we even say that? |
| ND |
Yeah, this is one of our supplies. |
| David |
That's unlimited free speech! |
