unfortunately i'm not an artist. so: could you do some ART with my Avatar thingy and "Money spells (enchants) Lies" signature?
(if you like it and have time - naturally)

check out what is money as a medium and a God like meme: rushkoff.com/books/life-incorp… (Life, Inc. by Rushkoff is a good start on the subject)
he has a good insight what "money" is as an invention - only 9 min.s short movie
there are many more sources in this subject. maybe i'll post them later.

tell me what you think. much appreciated!

my understanding of money and i may be wrong here, was that to replace the carrying of heavy actual wealth such as gold, and exchange of goods at sight in the barter system that a token (money) was created that had a direct corrilation to a central store of wealth held by the banks.

this was trusted because the token was rightly believed to be equal to the wealth claimed and in theory could be cashed in at any time, for the wealth or gold it represented.

this direct corraltion to the wealth it represents was lost early in this century, and the wealth reserves that covered its claimed value gone, a double swindle by our goverments to raise additional money that did not exist, because they created money by trading it.

the same thing has happened recently, and our goverment call it quantitive easing, and this is shoreing up all the worlds ecominies.

we dare not accept that this money is a fiction, as that would expose the lie that is money, and the anarchy and choas that would ensue,

but the realisation will come and bring down this global monetary system, and we can only hope that order will be delivered out of chaos, chaos theory :)
