Ron Paul, Debt, Money, The Environment, & Unsustainability
Intro/End Song: 'Merican by The Descendents
(Note: there are two ways of describing how fractional reserve banking works. Both explanations are correct. One explanation says the banks loan out 10x the money they have in reserve. So a $1000 dollar deposit becomes $10,000 in loans. That is true only with FED money (actually 9x not 10x). Yet, in the big picture, it is also true with individual money deposits, but it would only really become true if there were ever a major run on the banks requiring FDIC bailout—since that money doesn't really exist until people try to withdraw it. The other explanation, the one used in this article, deals with the normal everyday practice of normal people depositing normal money, with no runs on the banks. If there were ever a run on the banks we'd see the huge amount of inflation hidden in the system come to the surface overnight. Yet, it is unlikely there will ever be such a bank run, because who really wants all that hidden inflation to boil to the surface like that?)

Prickles and Goo: This is one of several animated short films set to the audio recordings of philosopher Alan Watts (1915 -- 1973). From what I can tell, the animations were made several years ago and were produced by the makers of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. I found these animations to be particularly neat, especially since I've been experimenting with making a comic focused on philosophy and personal development.

With God On Our Side Bob Dylan Cover With New Timely Lyrics By Alex Marchand
Given the current climate of moral and religious justification for war and terror, I thought it apt to redo this great satirical song.
This cover is about the content, not so much the form. I don't claim to be some great musician. My purpose of covering this song is the content. The content is what is important.
Oh my name it aint nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I was taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that the land that I live in
Has God on its side.
Oh the history books tell it
A story so strong
From the revolution
Through the drops of the bomb
All the names of the heroes
I was made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.
Oh the War in the Gulf it
Came to an end
We rescued Kuwait
From an old friend
The sky filled with blackness
As the oil burned wide
Cause you're either against us
Or God's on their side.
Oh the Next Gulf War was
The Executives Pet
The reason for fighting it
I still don't quite get
We can not end it
Until we suck up our pride
But you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.
And now we got wars against
Privatized Clans
Our foreign policies
Bring us into their lands
They'll die for their Allah
In the shadows they'll hide
And its all perfect logic
When your God's on a side.
Oh I can't help but wonder
Why we can't live and let live
Jesus Christ always
Taught to forgive
Now I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether two wrongs make right
And God on your side.
So now that I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war.
