Credits Never Ending (2006) - Li Xin and Eirik Fatland

LAUNCH

""Credits NeverEnding" is an interactive TV program, created for Finnish television channel Dina. Credits NeverEnding is intended for television's off hours, and was developed as part of a project to produce intentionally boring TV... The names and titles on the list come from the viewers themselves. A viewer with the right mix of attentiveness and time to kill will eventually discover the URL of the website where new credits may be entered. Viewers enjoy nearly total freedom to shape the neverending credits, including promoting themselves. Nothing is true until it is on television."

With our economy falling behind, the war on terror, pork barreling legislation, corruption, and criminal activity on the rise, payday loans should be the last thing on politicians’ minds. Yet, for some reason, high profile politicians like Obama are focusing on this issue. Some states have banned them, such as Georgia and North Carolina, and more are in the process. Instead of fixing the important issues, they are trying to take out the payday loan industry for personal and political gain. Payday loans are simply for short term financial assistance for the all-American family to cover some cost that wasn’t budgeted or an emergency that they couldn’t pay for at that moment. They provide help to citizens during these financially troubling times with loans that the government otherwise couldn’t provide themselves. Stop the potential loss of thousands of jobs and the loss of a viable financial option by voicing your opinion to the legislature, before a nationwide ban becomes in effect.

If you buy into the wrong information about <a href="http://personalmoneystore.com">payday loans</a> then you are in for an unfortunate situation. Especially when you proceed down a path based on that misinformation. The pluses and minuses of payday loans and the unknown future of the industry often can fall victim to this. Some politicians from all parties are attempting to pass legislation that would restrict or take away your right to get a payday loan. In this growing battle, some politicians have already succeeded in passing their legislation. Some politicians have already outlawed the whole industry in their states. Many of these laws are based on the misinformation that the payday loan industry is exactly the same as loans sharks. Please don’t jump to conclusions, and educate yourself, family, and friends on the right to financial independence.

In the classic novel, Brave New World, author Aldous Huxley issues a “warning” of what would happen if the government took complete control of our daily lives. First published in 1932, Huxley wrote the piece in speculation of how his hometown of London may look in the year 2540, pending the continuation of programs to end war, conflict, suffering, and antagonistic (aka: “free”) thought. In other words, it is what the world would look like if nobody could utilize their voice, or live how people today want to, free of the iron fist of the various levels of government. Many people criticized Huxley for this, his fifth and most well-known novel, upon its release and still do to this day. Controversy or not, several seeds have been planted in America, which have made for some frightening similarities to this classic piece of literature. Yes, the socialist and communist movements have been around for several generations in America, though it hasn’t taken such prevalence until this one. This is thanks, in no small part, to politicians who are trying to put so many things under the exclusive control of the government. In parts of Los Angeles, for example, crooked elected officials have passed restrictions on where fast food restaurants can set up new shops. Yes, that’s correct; the “man” is telling you that you can’t go get a hamburger in South Los Angeles, and you’re going to like it. But, what are worse are state and national politicians, who are trying to take away your access to fast and easy payday loans. This is because the politicians are just trying to muster up enough votes for office, so that they can further their own self-interests. Surely, action is needed to fight the government’s ever-tightening stranglehold on all of us.

A transcript was run in The New York Times of John McCain’s stump speech in Dayton Ohio, and the senator from Arizona seems to be spoiling for a fight. “I’m an American,” he said, “and I choose to fight. Don’t give up hope. Be strong, have courage, and fight.” He calls to fight for what’s right in America, like justice and opportunity for the children. However, with things like Issue 5 going before Ohio voters, McCain still wouldn’t gloss over the dark clouds ahead. He’s pointing out that “Barack the Redistributor” will spread the wealth around, but not help to create more. Obama believes taxes are too low, whereas McCain thinks that the spending of the last eight years has been too high. Payday loans do not irk McCain as much as Obama’s promise to bail out Wall Street with $750 billion of taxpayer’s money. McCain, the “maverick” plans to “get the economy out of the ditch and back in the lead,” which he thinks will make it possible for Americans to pass a better life onto their children and their grandchildren.

the problem is neither someone taking out a payday loan or someone lending it to them, the problem is the greed of both parties, and that is what needs to be addressed. How can you stop people's greed?
