In 1969 I was in the financial section in a bookstore trying to find a decent book for information, direction and advice. I saw one book that said every household is a business. This was 1969, my senior year in high school and I was wondering, "Why am I in hear trying to find a good book about something I wasn't taught anything about with all of this time I've spent in school?"

The problem is the consumer mentality. People in the household are supposed to concentrate on throwing money away not accumulating wealth. This business is to provide the income to be thrown away. I say the entire social psychology of US culture is wrong. The people running the boob tube are psyching us into being dumb.

Does it have to be an empire in the traditional sense. A network of thousands or millions of households, all with mortgges payed off, all with self sufficient educational computer systems for their kids aharing good information and telling each other about whatever BS the palefaces are spreading. I don't see a problem with that. I think the knee jerk competition that the palefaces promote is dumb.
