Soma Time For DEBTcember

There's a line in the movie "Vanilla Sky" that says "What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions?... Money." Well the answer to that other question is no money. And that's what we'll be discussing on the show tonight as we enter into a month that celebrates debt, consumption and the American Way. With the holiday season unofficially beginning with the craze of Black Friday last week, followed by CyberMonday(?), does anyone realize Hanukkah starts at sundown? The focus in the culture has shifted from what's sacred to what's scarce. Sales over souls. So whether it's Ireland's economic state or Jeter's contracts talks, the instability of this bloated centralized banking system has found every kitchen table in America. Joining us on the SAPEVINE to sort out the red from the black is author, Douglas Rushkoff. His new book "Program or Be Programmed" applies some of the principles he shared in his last book "Life, INC" in both it's content and delivery. We'll examine the culture of debt and how we can take a fresh look at the role money plays in our quality of life as we wade into the deep end of the pool this month. Check out his work at RUSHKOFF.COM - Meantime, the Winter Window Seasonal Transition Survey is posted on SOMASPACE.ORG.. So get some rock salt and go take that surbey and you're rit to go for the season. All that, and maybe some '1000 Ways To Die" clips on the show that post dates da fun, Soma Time!!!!!!!!
