"You are a normal teenager. Everything in your life is going well - until one day, there is someone else in your head, someone else is sharing your body. And, suddenly, you realize that you have become an incredible musician. And, you have the urge to compose - but every time you go to sign your name on your latest peice, you sign F. Schubert. You attempt to ignore this new talent - you attempt to leave it alone but it isonly getting stronger. And, the man inside of you is getting stronger as well. The restless spirit of Franz Schubert decided to inhabit your body. He left before he could attend to all he had wanted, and now he is back to fix that. You have been posessed by Schubert and all he wants to do is finish his incomplete music!"

"You are sitting at your table, doing your artwork in the art room - a typical day in art class. As you are working and talking with your friends, you notice someone or something strange out of the corner of your eye. You hear someone else in the class say, "Hey, what's that? What is going on?" You look up and see a girl coming in the art room, wearing a guerrilla mask, and carrying bananas and papers. The girl immediately hands out bananas to your classmates, and announces to the class that the Guerrilla Girls are officially protesting the art class."

"Bills. Bread. Cash. Dinero. Dough. Loot. Moolah. Cha-Ching. Money.
As the song says, "A Mark, a Yen, a Buck, or a Pound is all that makes the world go around, that clinking Clanking sound, can make the world go around."
But, what IS money? - Where does it come from?
- How does it get its value?
- How does it reflect what the community values, conceptually and artistically?
- Does anyone or any group have enough of it?
Did you know that you can, legally, make your own money?
What kind of money would you make?"
Question: "Can you plan an alternative money system to help you to raise the money your community needs?"

"Probably you! That's who's going to foot the bill. At least you will in the future because the United States' national debt stands at over 5 trillion dollars (that's a five with, uh... 12 zeroes after it?). If we don't like the idea that the U.S. Government uses money it doesn't have, why don't we all pitch in right now to clear the debt once and for all? But wait! Some people say we don't need to worry about the debt. What we need is to keep growing the economy. After all, with the Internet and e-commerce, we live in a new era where it's important to boost the global economy. Then the debt will take care of itself.
Do you find all these huge numbers and disagreeing arguments confusing? Are you tempted to just ignore it? Have you got twenty grand in the bank? Thought so. Maybe we better look into this a little more deeply? Maybe even do something about it?"
