This book lists for $118. Good thing we are getting such a great discount and only having to pay eighty or so bucks for a paperback. I am perplexed as to why it isn’t more expensive. Why not $500 dollars? Go ahead educational text publishers, give it a try. Why not? You could get away with it. You know you want the money. Charge us 500, 600, 700 dollars, and then you could rationalize why you have to charge so much. It doesn’t matter what you say or what anyone thinks anyway because we are forced to buy your books for our classes. The only reason some people don’t suck the blood out of babies is that it is too hard to pry them out of the arms of their mothers. Unlike blood, which you can only drink so much of anyway, stripping money from students never gets boring and you can never get enough. I think the French had it right. We need to help some people in this world get their heads straight. So tell me boys and girls, what have you learned today? Screw everyone and grab all you can. That’s right. Very good. You’ll all make great American citizens one day. And so, while we all are distracted with the threat of hordes of foreign terrorists running down from the hills to destroy our virtuous and peaceful way of life, the true evil festers and rots us from within. Class dismissed.
