The absurd farce
It happens that when I get burnt out by Debian (I might blog about that later, but then I just might not) I am forced to face the real world just to learn that Debian was not so bad to begin with. Oh, the irony! I need to smoke more so that I spend less time involved in this crap nobody can change. It is hard enough to change Debian, I don't even want to think about the rest.
If you want to understand the world crisis you are living in...

If you want to understand the world crisis you are living in...
- Watch Money as Debt, an animated documentary by Paul Grignon, that will make you want to cry (torrent here)
- Then read Why the US is collapsing by Rick Falkvinge, the leader of the Swedish Pirate Party.
- I can also suggest Maxed Out on Credit, an independent documentary that chronicles abusive practices in the credit card industry (torrent here)
- The end of Suburbia on peak oil and its implications on the suburban lifestyle, which I have recommended before (torrent here)
- For a nice piece of "fiction" turn to Fast Food Nation. There's shit in your meat, but that's ok as long as you cook it! (torrent here)
- If you can read Spanish, there's a great article about the housing bubble, the credit crunch and how they affect you (on top of not being able to access decent housing at prices that have anything to do with your earnings), even if you don't live in the USA or Madrid ;) The article was written by Leopoldo Abadía, although I first saw it on Nacho Giral's blog: Explicación a la crisis financiera que nos azota
