The enemy
Figure 1. The Enemy masquerades as a membership card to a club where you can live totally out of touch with reality.

The liberator
Figure 2. Common office scissors will be an effective tool for this task. While your debt-membership cards and scissors may have coexisted on your tabletop in the past, this time the result shall be different.

The battle
Figure 3. The Epic Battle between Good and Evil. The plastic composition offers a bit of resistance but actually slicing through it offers a pleasant satisfaction. In fact, it is addictive, so have extra cards on hand when you get “the bug” to do more.

Victory
Figure 4. FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST! The enemy has succumbed to your force of will. Sort of. Now you need to pay off your debt (if you choose), and then call your credit company to tell them to eat shit and die like dogs. You may find you can’t afford a new pair of scissors after yours get dulled from all this plastic cutting, but they will have served their life’s purpose in noble fashion and the can go off to die knowing their life had great meaning.

Not my president!
The sticker on my truck has been there since 2004 or so, but maybe earlier. Sometimes passing drivers paused to cheer it. My mechanic, a Republican, joked that my truck needed service because I voted for the "wrong guy." Dunno 'bout that one, but he's such a good mechanic he gets my biz anyway.

The razor blade
This razor-scraper gets little use but I was happy to have it on January 20th, 2009.

The long awaited moment
Not being one for bumper and window stickers, I have probably had only two or three on my truck. The last one came off when someone threw a rock and broke my back window ten years before this. At least placing a sticker on a flat window makes it easy to take off with such a tool as this.

Bush era is over
At last. The end of an error.

The end
The last I saw of this thing...
