Dear Friends,
I believe that I have determined how to solve all of the world's problems with one bold move:
---> OUTLAW MONEY.
Unlike drugs and weapons, money is everywhere. We stuff it into our wallets and into our purses.. We hide it under our mattresses and from our loved ones.. We store it in fire proof vaults, at places called BANks. This is where all the dealers of money hang out. We give it to our children as a reward for their obedient behavior and then we further indoctrinate them to deeply respect it, like it were their sacred lifeblood. It's legally carried through airports with us whenever, wherever we travel, and across borders it is free to go, back and forth, every day, spreading virally among the innocent masses. Churches even crave it. We are obsessed with it. Some even claim to LOVE it and have went so far as to have written books about how magically empowering it is.
It's time to admit that everyone on Earth (including me, and most likely every person reading this) is dangerously and highly addicted to the hardest $hit ever known to man. Consider this, people who don't have any money at all, still totally feen for it and wish that they had some, even if just to have a few cents. And the ones who do have the luxury to enjoy overdosing on it at will, well, they just can't seem to ever get enough of it and usually wreck their lives beyond any of our wildest imaginations.
Well, it's time to flush this junk down the toilet. Cut it up -- BURN IT. Do whatever you gotta do to break the chains that it has wrapped around you. Money is ripping apart our families, slaughtering everything in it's sight. It is worse than cancer and AIDS strapped to a nuclear bomb. Money is contagious and self replicating. It has a maniacal mind of it's own and knows no boundaries; it's loaded with the infinite artillery of indifference.
So are you brave enough to free yourself from the most catastrophic, addictive _________ ever known to man? I doubt you are... That's precisely how potent and highly addictive this _________ really is. But hey, you got it all under control right? No problems in sight? Sure... keep lying to yourself.
You may be wondering why there are blank spaces left in that last paragraph. Those spaces are the interactive portion of this little treatise. It is there, that I encourage you to define what it is that money really is. And just to be clear, I'm not asking for you to tell me what money is - to you. I want to know what money IS - like in the greater scheme of things. I know what I perceive it to be, but what do you think it really is? What is money?
Amazing really... We're addicted to something that we can not even properly assign a sensible definition to. If that's not a sure sign of a $ickness, then I don't know what is.
So yeah, Bob Dylan once sung a song, "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall".
When I hear Dylan sing that song, I hear him talking about a hard 'reign' that's gonna fall. This reign, to me, is money. Well actually, it's the manufacturers and the dealers of the money that I'm really referring to. I can see the storms of change, can you?
I didn't just write this post to crack a laugh with you. I sincerely believe that we all need help with FREEING OUR$ELVES from this life threatening addiction, to what is commonly referred to as money.
Addiction to money should no longer be seen as a trivial matter nor something to be discounted as tolerable by patrons of our post modern society. Rather, money should be viewed through a sobering set of eyes for what it truly is. An illusion, created by the power hungry controllers (the most addicted among us) who seek ultimately, to rob humanity and Earth, of it's most valuable natural resources; including our collective consciousness and our innate will to once and for all, finally realize Peace.
Money is not worthy of any of our loyalties. Enough is enough already. The misconception that we have all been seduced to believe about money, implies that money is an absolute necessity required to maintain a civil and just society - this is simply a flat out lie. That notion is pure fantasy and holds no real scientific or logical validity for our species in the era that we are now rapidly approaching. Imagine where we could be as a civilization if fear, greed, and scarcity, all side effects of money, were instantly eradicated.
Makes me think of another revolutionary song sung by John Lennon. In the end, maybe what he was really ascertaining, was:
Can you imagine a world where there was no money?
Solidarity in Truth,

P.S. I'm currently looking for a $ponsor (or 2, or 3) Some person or persons who have already overcome their addiction to money and who have already freed themselves from it's treacherous reign. I believe that it is only through cooperation and compassion that any of us will actually stand a chance of ever overcoming and conquering our mass addiction to this great numerical oppressor. Recovery is a very rough road, but nothing in comparison to the bottomless pit at the edge of the cliff, that we are all $tampeding madly towards.
