"My Religion," by M. K. Gandhi

I've been reading the chapters on fasting and prayer in Mahatma Gandhi's book, "My Religion." It is clear that fasting is prayer, and the prayer must be for pure reasons. In my fast, I am echoing the opposition of the Ron Paul U. S. Presidential campaign to the existence of central bank of the United States, as it creates a false balance in the money supply by inflating currency and thus redistributing the value of labor from the poor into the whims of the politician. This must be overthrown in a world of peace, within an economy of permanence.

Other dynamics that must be overthrown in a world of peace include slavery (taxation of labor, taxation of property and numbering people like cattle to control the taxation of their labor and property).
