1. Pretend you don't owe anybody any money. Bills, rent, loan and credit card payments, can all wait. Becoming financially solvent is bad for you, and bad for the economy, so the first step to economic recovery is to remove all liabilities from the equation.

2. Encourage wanton consumption of consumer goods. You have only $5000 to your name, which is just enough to buy the new 60" plasma TV they have down at Best Buy! The bigger, and more unnecessary the goods, the better. Items with a high markup mean greater profits for retailers and producers alike, which translates, through the laws of trickle-down economics, to better pay and more job opportunities for you! Be careful, though, of deceptive sales or lower-priced second-hand goods. These items yield little or no profit for large corporations, which means you won't see any returns trickling back!

3. Pay less taxes, or no taxes at all! This is a simple procedure, and requires far less paperwork than one would expect. When you are hired, simply check exempt, and then don't file. You're done! By not paying taxes, your money, which would otherwise be shoveled into a furnace some 10 miles beneath the earth's crust by IRS peons, can be liberated to frolick in the free market, eventually returning to you, thankful for your good grace in not turning it over to the evil government ghestappo.

Should any of these steps fail, you still have a last option of recourse which is completely foolproof. Declare bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a magical incantation whose origins lie beyond recorded history, but still remains a powerful tool of the financial sorcerer to this day. Simply performing this ancient rite will absolve you of all financial burden, and reverse any damage that was done. How does it work? These secrets are long since lost in the fog of time.

Each time a policeman clubs a protester: take a drink
For each pair of breasts: take a drink
Whenever someone speaks english: take a drink
Whenever debord says "commodity": take a sip
Whenever debord says "spectacle": take a sip
- if it is the diffused spectacle, take a sip of someone elses drink
- if it is the concentrated spectacle, everyone must take a drink of the same drink
If you see Stalin, Hitler, or Mao, take a drink
If you lose count while drinking, finish your drink.
If you aren't drunk by the end, you're either as alcoholic as Debord, or you weren't paying attention.

It's a pretty good community that continues to uncover very interesting works that normally go unnoticed. I think DeviantArt's structure doesn't do a very good job of hiliting new or underestablished artists, and does a very good job of continuing to propogate the work of those who are already quite well known. Anyway, check it out,

Here's an example of today's features,

It made me cry.
And it makes me feel like a baby for acting like I had it bad over a getting heart broken by a girl.
Even though I never felt such empathy for people before I knew her. ]]> ~bladesilver
