Well, money is an abstract idea made real, created by a certain group of people, controlled and produced by them and they give it to whomever they want. Everyone else has to pay them with their own money to get more of the money at a rate of interest.

Money (as opposed to barter) makes for a wider and easier to use system but it also seems to remove value from the process. Lots of money is made while adding little value to society.

well, precious metals made it easier to trade. Money was just notes to show that you had gold or silver.
Problem is that there's nothing backing the stuff any longer. We've given a group of men the power to produce this stuff.

Still sometimes watching Family Guy and American Dad.
Still sleeping til noon or later.
I can't be bothered with nonsense, ya know?
Maybe I'll sleep through World War III.
I'll wake up the next day in paradise with 72 big breasted virgins.... wait wait, but in paradise they don't bleed on you please.

I just stocked up on tons of incandescent light bulbs after I learned that the mercury in the energy efficient compact florescents is very dangerous.
Cleanup if Bulb Breaks
Open windows for at least 15 minutes. Do not directly touch any broken glass; use duct tape to pick up fragments. Get rid of any bedding or clothing that has glass fragments on it. Double-bag the fragments and fabrics with glass caught in it.
