Local Currency Is Selfish Plan To Ruin America

The PlentyIt is the beginning of the end, perhaps, the introduction of a local currency in towns like Pittsboro, North Carolina. There, you can exchange this homegrown currency for "Custom Mosaic Individual and Couples Counseling" and "Technical Tree Climbing Tutoring." Then you can only spend that currency at the local organic bread store, thus ensuring that the bailed-out U.S. banking system cannot utilize your cash, and destroying America. Actually what is wrong with this plan is that it is an aggregated barter system! And real barter systems-ask the lesbian communes of Australia!-work just fine and really we should all be doing them.

I guess translators don't accept the new currency: the Spanish caption is wrong (it should be "Confiamos en nosotros").

Plenty has been in use around that part of NC -- Pittsboro, Carrboro, etc -- for at least a decade now, I'm pretty sure.

I wonder if they will accept my cheques written on cocktail napkins?

"Cheques" not "checks"? Are you *gasp* CANADIAN?

If it's written on a cocktail napkin, does it not deem the more formal "cheque"?

I mean, it's not like it was a napkin from a Halal vendor. This was a ten dollar martini, which I also paid for with the napkin FTW.

Trees? Turtles? Are the people of Pittsboro so politically correct to not honor their heritage and put Rich Uncle Pennybags on their Canadian Tire Money?!
